Which duty is typically performed by a property manager in Florida?

• A. Collect rent
• B. Evict tenants without due process
• C. Draft architectural plans for renovations
• D. Sell the property

Answer: (A)

Collecting rent is the typical duty of a property manager. A property manager handles the ongoing operations of a rental property on behalf of the owner, with rent collection being a core, ongoing responsibility. They receive tenants’ payments, apply them to the owner’s accounts, issue receipts, and monitor and address late payments or delinquencies, often coordinating related financial reporting for the owner.

Evicting tenants without due process isn’t allowed and would require proper legal action initiated through the courts. Drafting architectural plans for renovations is the realm of architects and contractors, not property managers. Selling the property is the role of a real estate licensee involved in sales, not ongoing property management.
