Property Management
VAR'S Property Managers Council, a special interest group of VAR, is the business and legislative advocate for VAR's property managers. The Council exists to
- Enhance the professionalism, knowledge, and public image of VAR's property managers,
- Provide a unified voice on regulatory and legislative issues, and

VAR offers a variety of forms for property managers, including the popular:
- Application for Residential Lease – Form 300;
- Property Management and Exclusive Right to Lease – Form 900;
- Residential Lease – Form 200; and
- Pet Addendum – Form 220
All 9 of our property management forms -- leases, addenda, disclosures, etc. -- have been updated in late 2011. This is a major overhaul done in collaboration with the Northern Virginia and Richmond associations, Future Law LLC, and VAR’s Standard Forms Working Group to make these forms more user friendly, and to ensure accuracy.
