What Property Management Forms Do You Need as a Landlord?
Mar 17, 2022 | Library

When managing your California property, you should consider using property management forms. These forms provide information about your property, tenants, and business models. They also help avoid liability in certain situations while specifying the rules your tenants will have to follow.
Why Do You Need Management Forms?
The primary purpose of property management forms is to cover your grounds as a landlord. They provide protection for your tenants, your property, and yourself.
Filling out each form and asking tenants to read them can be stressful, but these forms will help you significantly. You can ensure legal, financial, and personal protection against lawsuits or insurance claims by using these forms.
As the rental property owner, you are responsible for getting all the necessary paperwork filled out. If you don’t, highly regulated states like California can and will penalize you. The penalty can vary depending on your property type and specific location.
Types of Forms Needed for Property Management
You’ll need different types of property management forms if you want to start renting your house or commercial building. Each of these forms can be tedious to understand, making the process even more complicated.
Here are some of the most common forms for property management:
- Residential Management Forms: This manager agreement is filled out and signed by a landlord looking to hire a property management company like Genuine Property Management. It includes all the necessary information about your property plus the services you’ll be receiving from the company.
- Commercial Management Forms: This form includes more legal terms because commercial properties are a bit more complicated than residential real estate. It covers the same grounds as the previous form. Still, you will need to verify its contents with your lawyer before signing.
- Lease Agreements: Our lease agreements are written by one of the country’s most reliable and experienced law firms. The form protects you and your property as much as the law allows, and it is updated every 90 days. This is one of the most essential documents because it will outline the rental terms for your California property. Be sure to include the four hazard booklets as part of your lease as required by law.
- Tenant Move-In/Move-Out Forms: These checklist forms ensure that every aspect of your property is inspected and documented before and after tenants move in. Therefore, you can monitor damage and areas that need repairs. Photos and video help create a basis of the true property condition before and after.

What Our Happy Clients Have to Say
Genuine PM
From the start, Carol and Shannon were amazing to work with. I initially needed to understand their process, and as an agent, I always remind myself that things may not always align with how I’d prefer them to work for my clients. However, after taking the time to review their procedures, standards, and regulations, I gained a deeper appreciation for how they operate as a management company.
Carol and Shannon not only worked seamlessly as a team but also took the time to understand my perspective as a realtor. Their professionalism, transparency, and willingness to collaborate made the entire process smoother. In the end, my clients successfully secured the rental on Moody Street in Fullerton, and they were more than satisfied.
Now that I fully understand Genuine Property Management’s credit application process, application standards, and overall procedures, I look forward to working with them again. Their efficiency and professionalism make them a standout in the property management industry. Five stars all the way!
Would highly recommend.

Lo que más destacó fue la disposición de Miriam para ir más allá y asegurarse de que encontrara el apartamento perfecto para mis necesidades. Incluso hizo un seguimiento conmigo después para asegurarse de que tenía toda la información que necesitaba. Es raro encontrar a alguien tan comprometido con brindar un excelente servicio al cliente.
Cuando llegó el momento de terminar mi contrato de arrendamiento y mudarme, Miriam fue tan útil y solidaria como lo fue cuando me mudé. Respondió todas mis preguntas sobre el proceso de mudanza y explicó todo claramente. Miriam hizo todo lo posible para asegurarse de que la transición fuera lo más fluida y libre de estrés posible. Su profesionalismo y amabilidad hicieron que un proceso potencialmente estresante fuera mucho más fácil.
Gracias a Miriam, mi experiencia alquilando a través de esta oficina, desde el principio hasta el final, fue excepcional. Si estás considerando mudarte aquí, ¡pide hablar con Miriam, es fantástica!
Most recently I had an emergency repair request on NYE and the maintenance director, Javier, reached out to me immediately and let me know that he was reaching out to vendors to come fix the problem. With it being a holiday, most vendors were not open or available but he managed to find someone. The vendor ended up coming within a couple of hours! Thank you Javier for your prompt response and sense of urgency in getting my repair fixed! It really shows that you care about your tenants and making sure they are comfortable.
Our partnership with Genuine PM and Joey is one we deeply value. Joey’s commitment to his role and his tenants is unparalleled, and we hope his internal team recognizes his dedication. Working with clients like Joey makes my job not only easier but also more fulfilling, thanks to his honest and open line of communication.
