The Agreement Between Landlord And Letting Agent is a fundamental document in Hong Kong's real estate practice, essential for establishing professional property management relationships. This agreement is typically used when a property owner wishes to engage a professional letting agent to market, lease, and potentially manage their property. The document must comply with Hong Kong's Estate Agents Ordinance (Cap. 511) and related regulations, incorporating specific requirements for agency agreements in the jurisdiction. It includes detailed provisions for commission structures, service scope, marketing arrangements, and professional obligations, while addressing unique aspects of Hong Kong's property market. The agreement is particularly important given Hong Kong's dynamic real estate environment and the need for clear professional service arrangements in both residential and commercial property sectors.
