Leasing agents

No leasing agent shall engage in the real estate business except for leasing or renting real property that is exclusively used for residential occupancy. Leasing agents shall not engage in any activity that requires a real estate broker's or real estate salesperson's license, including, but not limited to, selling, offering, listing, negotiating, referring or showing for sale, entering into lease-to-own agreements or leasing commercial real estate. A leasing agent shall be employed by a development owner. A leasing agent shall not offer leasing services for any person that is not a development owner. No leasing agent shall engage in the real estate business concerning any property other than on behalf of the owner of record of a multiunit development that employs such leasing agent. A leasing agent shall obtain a written contract from the development owner to demonstrate such employment prior to engaging in any leasing activity at such development. Such contract shall be made available to the department, and produced by the leasing agent in an electronic form, upon a request by the department for such contract.
