Are property management companies allowed to have individuals (not a business entity) as a client
I'm trying to settle a heated argument. Are property management companies (in the state of PA) allowed to manage properties for INDIVIDUALS? By individuals I mean not a company, partnership or other business entity. I mean just Jane Doe, can she be a client? Example... Jane Doe buys a house and wants to rent it out. She doesn't want to manage it. She hires a property management company. Is the property management company allowed to accept her as a client and act as a third party to her tenant, on her behalf? If the answer is no, would she have to form a corporation or other business entity for that rental property in order for her to be accepted as a client for a property management company.
All feedback and answers are appreciated.
Kind regards...
