A Missouri property management agreement is a legal contract created at the beginning of a landlord and a property manager’s professional relationship. It establishes the arrangement terms, such as the manager’s responsibilities (e.g., maintenance, evicting tenants, collecting rent), their level of autonomy, and how they will be compensated. Both parties are required to uphold their duties once they have signed the agreement.
