What if my tenants go rogue and stop paying rent?

No tenancy is every guaranteed but we work very hard to screen applications where we source and verify information to ensure that you can choose the right tenant for your property. If things go wrong, and unfortunately they sometimes do even with the best management, we are experienced in the Residential Tenancies Act in WA and can navigate the process to limit the damage or loss. Our property managers have experience, training and mentoring to manage difficult tenants well so you can have peace of mind, knowing that we will work hard to get the best outcome.

We strongly recommend that every landlord consider specialist landlord insurance – you never know when you might need it and it is very economical to purchase cover.

How do you keep up-to-date with the ever changing legislation and regulatory requirements for property management?

All our staff are well trained and attend regular professional development training to ensure that we know what is happening, what the processes are for each aspect of management, and how to implement the rules as required. All staff have the qualifications for registration in WA so they understand their role. In addition to this, all real estate professionals are required to maintain at professional development training every year.

How often to you inspect my property?

On average, we inspect properties quarterly, depending on the landlord’s instructions. We conduct thorough routine inspections with photographs and a report of visible maintenance, including recommended preventative maintenance, so you can budget for what needs to be done to maintain your property. We pay particular attention to end of lease inspections as this is the best time to really assess the condition of the property and look for wear and tear that is cumulative within the house.

Do you manage both residential and commercial property?

We manage both commercial and residential property in both the Perth metropolitan area and in the mid-West region. Our experience in both areas is backed by more than 20 years in the business, so we understand all types of tenancies.

As a tenant, how do I get help for my lease and maintenance?

Our property managers are available by SMS or email 7 days a week. They can be contacted out of hours for emergencies and will assist if there is an urgent matter. During the week, all staff can assist with registering maintenance so even if you can’t speak with a property manager, you can be assured that we can help.
