Explanation
A property manager acting as an agent owes a fiduciary duty of loyalty and disclosure to the property owner. Receiving undisclosed compensation (kickbacks) from vendors creates a conflict of interest and violates the agent's fiduciary duty. The manager must disclose such arrangements, and in many cases remit the commission to the owner.
