How a Real Estate Business Hired a Lawyer to Review a Property Management Agreement in Ohio (2024)

In 2024, a business in Ohio sought assistance with reviewing a property management agreement and lease agreement template. The client and their husband were in the process of purchasing their first investment property and were concerned that the existing agreements from their prospective property manager were too vague and contained conflicting information. Although they drafted revisions to make the agreements more comprehensive, they recognized the need for legal expertise to ensure compliance with Ohio's landlord-tenant laws and to address any potential red flags. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $750, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of less than one week.
