[Broker's Authority and Duties]

Under the provisions of a property management agreement, a property manager has a legal obligation to promote and protect whose interests?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Under North Carolina law, a property manager acts as a general agent for the property owner and owes fiduciary duties---including loyalty, obedience, accounting, and full disclosure---to the owner. While managers must comply with fair housing and other tenant-related laws, their primary duty is to the owner of the property.

Definitely the property owner. Tenants are just renting, the owner's interests come first.

I'd say the property owner and the tenants. Gotta keep both parties happy, right?

The property owner, of course. That's the whole point of a property management agreement.

I’m pretty sure it’s A, but I vaguely recall something about responsibilities to the public as well.

I feel like it could be C since a good property manager should balance the needs of both the owner and the tenants, but I’m not confident.

I think the property manager's primary duty is to the property owner, but I’m not entirely sure if they have to consider tenants too.

I've got a good strategy for this. I'll eliminate the options that don't make sense, then choose between the remaining ones. I think A is the safest bet.

Wait, I thought the property manager had to look out for both the owner and the tenants. I'm a little confused on the specifics here.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this. The property manager has to balance the interests of the owner and the tenants, right? I'll have to think this through carefully.
