See an attorney, or check with your state licensing board.  My State of Florida has strict guidelines for what an unlicensed assistant can and cannot do.  You need to know where the line is; do not cross it.

I'd ask your Broker or attorney.

An unlicensed assistant would only be doing admin for me, I'd never have them interact with my tenants other than through approved emails.

Sadly, it depends on the laws of your state.  Without knowing that, we can't advise.  I'd suggest getting a property management textbook from a licensing school in your state.  That should have all the laws for your state at the time of writing/publishing.

You need to check with your own state laws. In my state property managers aren't licensed. If your state licenses property managers you need to check with your state commission on what is considered practicing real estate and what is not. -Kasey

Check with your broker and attorney. It depends. I woudl think it should just admin work

every state has different laws....you need to check with the rules of the licensing board....

Sorry,  I don't know California Real Estate Law..

Check with your attorney, every state differs. A

Your state licensing body will have an extensive list of duties requiring a real estate license by law. If you're a broker, look them up or talk to an attorney, if not, talk to your broker.

Property management is no different than sales in terms of what duties require licensure. That's where you'll find out what your assistant may/may not do.

tom sims Your profile states you are in California so you will need to research CA property management laws.  Good luck.

Each state is different - I would check with your state REC.

Laws vary from state to state so check with your local Board of Realtors and / or State Association.

This is a state specific question, check with your broker.

Ask your broker.

It depends on state laws or real estate guidelines.

I don't know.

I pass this question 

Follow the rules in your state. Unlicensed assistants usually have limited activities.

I don't do property manaement so can't help you here. Each state has its own rules about what unlicensed assistant can or can't do.

Get the local ordinances and state law on landlord tenant relations. Best yet, check with an attorney specializing in landlord tenant law.

State laws

Look to your governing authority

Check with your broker or attorney well versed in this.  States have different laws. 

Unless the broker has proper insurance and has property insurance credentials in the State of California, most realtors are not supposed to engage in management of properties..

this probably STATE specific 

Your state dictates what is lawful. That is the only opinion that matters.

The following is not legal advise but simply the rambling of a mind fatigued. My suggestion is anything requiring a direct meet/conversation, delivering or picking up anything of value, and most definitely using a key to open a door should not be done via an assistant. Your liability is simply too great.

The assistant CAN mow the grass if the assistant promises to talk to no one. 

Your broker will be able to advise what your state allows a property management company to do as well as restrictions of unlicensed staff. IF it's important and has consequences for the onwer...your assistant should not do it.

I am with the others here you need to consult either an attorney or your broker and these rules could vary from state to state I imagine

Sorry, don't do property management.

tom sims - check with state guideline on this topic.

 The are many laws regarding property management. Serious stuff…trust fund management…anti-discrimination housing laws on both a State and Federal level…evictions. There is much more that can be gleaned by quizzing the AR Q&A.

Depends on the law in your state

I would think it might vary from state to state, but it's a no go in GA for an unlicensed person to have contracts signed or handle funds.
