General Policies
Table of Contents
1 | Contract Closure & Onboarding
1.1 A contract is not closed until the Operator physically receives a ready-to-rent property that:
- is fully furnished and equipped to DTCM & Operator standards,
- comes with a signed Property Management Agreement, all landlord documents, required payments, keys/access cards/permits, and
- has completed onboarding formalities (incl. any missing-furniture procurement).
1.2 The contract closure date is the date all items in 1.1 land on the Operator’s desk—nothing earlier.
2 | Full-Disclosure Obligations
BDMs must proactively, truthfully, and in writing inform the Operator of the landlord’s:
The Operator must know |
Notify before it becomes an issue |
Intention to sell the property (now or later) | ✔ |
Intention to rent exclusively with Operator for a fixed term | ✔ |
Intention to occupy the property themselves | ✔ |
Parallel long-term rental advertising | ✔ |
Presence of high-value or unusual items in the unit | ✔ |
Outstanding service-charge or utility dues affecting guest access | ✔ |
Accurate contact details (captured in Agreement/onboarding form) | ✔ |
Failure to disclose = potential commission forfeiture (see § 6).
3 | Portfolio Management Duties
3.1 After signing, the BDM remains the landlord’s primary point of contact.
3.2 BDMs must:
- complete the Onboarding Form in full,
- relay Operator updates to landlords and obtain approvals,
- pass landlord feedback straight back to the team,
- inform the General Manager (GM) before altering any Agreement clause,
- alert the GM if they promise the landlord specific revenue or special terms.
4 | Working Hours & Availability
- Standard schedule: 09:00 – 18:00 (reasonable off-site client meetings accepted).
- Compliance with hours is a condition for receiving monthly basic salary.
5 | Furnishing & Procurement Controls
- BDM must provide current photos of the furnished unit and secure GM sign-off before ordering additional items on the landlord’s behalf.
6 | Commission & Penalties
- If a BDM knowingly withholds or misrepresents any required information, the Operator may withhold unpaid commission for that unit or claw back amounts already paid from future earnings.
7 | Confidentiality & Non-Competition
- During employment and thereafter, BDMs may not share company leads, data, or trade intel—directly or indirectly—with competitors or any third party whose interests conflict with the Operator’s.
8 | Restrictions on Parallel Listings
8.1 Long-term rental: Landlords may not list the property for long-term rent while under Deluxe Holiday Homes management—breach of contract., unless agreed in advance and approved
8.2 Sale listings & viewings:
- If the landlord chooses outside agents, each viewing requires a Third-Party Viewing Form and AED 150 coordination fee (covers scheduling + escorted access).
- If the landlord wants free viewings, the property must be exclusively listed for sale with Deluxe Homes Real Estate Broker (DHRE). One listing agreement; DHRE handles the rest.
9 | Miscellaneous
- BDMs must keep the GM in the loop on any contract amendments before signatures.
- All policies apply equally to permanent and probationary BDMs.
Bottom line: Keep the Operator fully informed, keep the landlord fully serviced, and keep yourself fully paid. Everyone wins—and Legal sleeps soundly.
