The general rule is that you must issue a Form 1099-MISC to any vendors or sub-contractors you have paid at least $600 in rents, services, prizes and awards, or other income payments in the course of your trade/business in a given tax year (you do not need to issue 1099s for payments made for personal purposes).

Landlords are typically required to file 1099-MISC forms for payments made to property managers, contractors, attorneys, repair professionals and anyone else who performs services for your property and does not qualify as your employee. You report instances where these payments equal $600 or more during the year.
