Question

A property management contract establishes an agency relationship between the manager and the owner. Considering that the management fee is often calculated as a percentage of gross income, this would seem to create an agency problem in that the agreement does not give managers the incentives to control operating expenses while they attempt to increase rental income. Though seldom the case, basing the property management fee on which of the following measures would, in theory, better align the interests of the owner and manager?
A. Effective gross income
B. Net operating income
C. Miscellaneous income
D. Capital expenditures
