A Nevada property management agreement is a binding contract between owner and manager that sets the term of their working relationship. It allows the parties to understand their role and responsibilities and ensure the property is managed effectively. The agreement covers the scope of the services to be provided, the manager’s compensation, and the type of reports the owner expects to receive.
