What can an unlicensed secretary for a property manager legally do?

An unlicensed secretary for a property manager can legally collect rents, as this activity is considered administrative in nature rather than requiring the specialized knowledge that a real estate license imparts. In Colorado, the law provides specific allowances for unlicensed individuals working under the supervision of a licensed property manager to perform certain duties that do not involve negotiating leases or engaging in real estate transactions directly.

Publishing a listing and taking listings involve marketing the property and creating agreements, which typically require a license due to the significant responsibilities and legal implications involved. Negotiating leases similarly requires a level of expertise and adherence to regulations that unlicensed individuals cannot satisfy. Therefore, collecting rents is an allowable task, as it is part of the routine management activities associated with property oversight and does not involve negotiation or contractual obligations that necessitate licensure.
