HMA Clause Samples

The HMA, or Hotel Management Agreement, is a contract that outlines the terms under which a hotel owner engages a professional management company to operate and manage a hotel property on their behalf. This clause typically details the responsibilities of the management company, the scope of their authority, the fees or compensation structure, and the standards of operation expected. For example, it may specify how revenues and expenses are handled, the reporting requirements, and the duration of the management arrangement. The core practical function of the HMA clause is to clearly define the relationship between the owner and the manager, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations, and to allocate operational risk and decision-making authority in the management of the hotel.
