The Letting Agency Contract is a crucial document in South African property management that formalizes the relationship between property owners and professional letting agents. It is primarily used when property owners wish to delegate the management of their rental properties to professional agents, whether for single properties or entire portfolios. The contract must comply with South African legislation, including the Property Practitioners Act 22 of 2019, the Rental Housing Act, and relevant consumer protection laws. This agreement typically includes detailed provisions for service scope, fee structures, operational procedures, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It serves as a foundational document for professional property management relationships and helps ensure clear understanding and legal compliance for all parties involved in the letting process.
