(a) Service contract
(b) Temporary employment contract
(c) Management agreement
(d) Independent contractor agreement
Solution
Answer
The answer is (c) Management agreement
Explanation
Option 1: Service contract
A service contract generally refers to an agreement between a service provider and a client, detailing the terms of service. While it can include property management services, it is not the specific term used to establish the role of a property manager.
Option 2: Temporary employment contract
A temporary employment contract is used for hiring employees for a short-term period. This is not typically used to define the role of a property manager, who usually has ongoing responsibilities.
Option 3: Management agreement
A management agreement is the correct term for the written agreement that establishes the role of a property manager. This document outlines the duties, responsibilities, and compensation of the property manager, as well as the terms and conditions of the management services provided.
Option 4: Independent contractor agreement
An independent contractor agreement is used when hiring an individual or company to perform services as an independent contractor. While a property manager could be an independent contractor, the specific agreement that defines their role is still called a management agreement.
