Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: Property Management Agreement

I do not have that particular form in front of me. Indemnity provisions can be a bit tricky and often work in conjunction with other clauses. Do not indemnify the PMC -- you are retaining the PMC because they are the experts and they should stand behind their work. If you are serious about running a business, always run any business contract by your attorney before you sign.

Re: Property Management Agreement

Though attorneys review CAR forms all of the time, the forms change regularly. It is impossible for anyone to give you an exact answer without reviewing the actual document they are asking you to sign. If you are concerned, strike that part of the contract out - all contracts are negotiable, and if this property management company won't accept the change, move on to the next one.
