Abstract

Argues that the requirement for references from prospective tenants by property managers is a legal obligation. Considers the nature of the property manager′s duty to obtain references, as well as the nature and extent of this duty, using case law examples. Concludes that the property manager has an interpretative, rather than express function concerning tenant suitability, making the term “professional” appropriate to his function in such situations.
