What must a property manager provide to a tenant prior to showing the property?

A property manager must provide proper notice, typically 24 hours, to a tenant prior to showing the property in order to comply with legal requirements and ensure respect for the tenant's right to privacy. This notice is important because it gives the tenant adequate time to prepare for the showing and to clear their schedule if necessary. Depending on local laws, a specific amount of notice is often mandated to protect tenants from unexpected intrusions.

While a tenant application form, a copy of the lease agreement, and a rental market analysis are important documents in the overall property management process, they are not specifically required to be provided before a showing. The core obligation is to communicate with the tenant about the intent to show the property, which is why providing sufficient notice is the key step in this situation.
