You need the borrower's consent.

For a referral between agents, one agent having a business relationship with a client must give consent for another to act or represent that client and the other agent must agree to do so.

Your partner shouldn't have the authority to authorize any lease without your signature/explicit consent, especially in a case where you explicitly stated otherwise regarding the tenant in question.

But I am guessing there is something similar, though not identical.In WI, 12 hour notice by landlord required, and not consent from tenant needed.

Just got a new tenant in my rental and he went ahead and got a dish satellite installed (without my consent but I'm not making a big fuss about this).

If this is allowed by law, the best way to cover the missapplication of funds issue is to have consent to do so in the lease agreement, but it still does not address the comingling of funds issue.

No party of the contract can take the deposit without the other party's consent so if the broker will not return the deposit you may need to go to court to get the court to order the release of your funds.

The fact that I go with you to see the house implies my consent on your service.

L-S-S: he has been incredibly rude to me and has had work (not-urgent) done w/o my consent - violates our agreement.For anyone who is an out-of-state or 'remote' landlord: do you hire a property manager or manage your properties remotely?

:(Another point, when doing options or agreements and any public notice is to be filed, that should be done with both parties consent and made with an agreed method to terminate the memo by date or otherwise.
