Laws

License Required? Yes. Licensing is generally required for property managers to operate in the state (§§ 62-13-301, 62-13-102(4)(B)). However, a resident manager or employee of a broker can manage an apartment, duplex, or residential complex without a license if their duties are limited to the following:

• Supervision
• Exhibiting the property
• Leasing
• Collecting security deposits

Unlicensed resident managers aren’t permitted to negotiate security deposit amounts or rental prices on behalf of the broker (§ 62-13-104 (a)(1)(E)).
