Managing day-to-day tasks
Managing an investment property involves many tasks, including handling tenant enquiries, arranging maintenance, paying bills, conducting inspections, and keeping records.
Even the most experienced landlord can find all this overwhelming and time-consuming.
With technology, Rent Square has streamlined systems for collecting rent, contacting tradespeople, communicating with your tenant, and conducting inspections, to help ensure nothing is missed.
Handling requests promptly
One of a Rent Square’s main jobs is to keep happy tenants (and to deal with them when they are not).
We know happy tenants lead to lower vacancies. Tenant retention is key.
As a specialist property management company, we pride ourselves on responding to tenant or landlord enquiries effectively.
We know how important being contactable is when building a strong rapport with all our clients.
Arranging repairs and maintenance
All properties require repairs and maintenance at times.
Finding reputable tradespeople and negotiating competitive rates can be difficult for landlords.
Rent Square has a database of qualified, trusted, (and competitively priced!) tradespeople we can call on.
Your investment is in safe hands.
Keeping tenant relationships professional
Sometimes, landlords feel pressured to please and accommodate every wish their tenant has.
Enforcing lease terms and dealing with lease breaches, and other problems can be awkward.
Rent Square brings effective communication skills, and maintain a professional, “arms-length” relationship with your tenant, making it easier to be firm with them, and guide them through the correct procedure.
Resolving disputes
Disputes between landlords and tenants can happen, particularly over the bond or early termination of a lease.
One of the key advantages of having a property manager is they know how to be assertive with tenants, without breaching their rights.
Often disputes can be resolved amicably. If not, your property manager will know how to represent you effectively at the tenancy tribunal.
Avoiding legal dramas for you (the landlord) and your tenants
The primary legislation governing residential tenancies is the Residential Tenancies Act (1986).
It covers a myriad of legal requirements and processes, from lodging the bond to serving valid end-of-lease notices.
Landlords could get these things wrong easily.
This again is one of the key benefits of a property manager.
They can keep you informed (Healthy Homes is a good example!).
