As an Ohio real estate investor, hiring property managers or acquisition specialists requires navigating specific state mandates, including Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 4112.02 regarding expanded protected classes and Ohio's strict Statute of Frauds (ORC § 1335.15) for contracts exceeding one year. This document protects your cap rates and cash-on-cash returns by defining clear job roles and mitigating liabilities like zoning violations or tenant disputes. By incorporating critical confidentiality and non-solicitation clauses, you safeguard your proprietary 1031 exchange strategies and investor lists from competitors, all while maintaining compliance with Ohio’s unique municipal income tax and at-will employment standards.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Real Estate Investor:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Tenant liability
Mitigated through comprehensive lease agreements that clearly outline tenant responsibilities, liabilities, and landlord’s rights.
Zoning violations
Ensured compliance by conducting thorough land use research and consulting with legal professionals for zoning compliance prior to property acquisition.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Yes, specifically under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.15, any agreement that cannot be performed within one year must be in writing. Furthermore, to clearly define liability regarding property defects and maintenance, a written contract is essential to outline responsibilities and avoid disputes over job descriptions.
While Ohio allows non-compete and non-solicitation clauses, they must be reasonable in scope and duration. For investors, this ensures employees don't utilize your specific due diligence processes or 'as-is' property sourcing leads to compete against you, provided the clause is drafted to meet Ohio's judicial standards for enforceability.
Our template includes a Dispute Resolution clause. Under Ohio law, specifying a governing jurisdiction is vital due to the state's unique municipal tax laws and the 'business judgment rule,' which provides distinct protections for directors and management decisions in real estate operations.
While primarily an employment document, it includes Job Description and Confidentiality clauses that ensure staff understand their roles regarding the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) and SEC regulations if your business involves pooling funds, mitigating the risk of regulatory violations by the employee.
