Landlord Services

Specialised Field

The need to have your property managed by a professional Property Management team is now more important than ever, as it has become a specialised field with vast legal implications.

It places immense responsibility on whoever manages the rental property to comply with the Residential Tenancies Act and the complex rules and regulations it contains.

Failure to do so can attract harsh penalties to either the you, owner or the owner's nominated managing agent.

Knowledge of the appropriate legislation is essential and agents involved in investment property management must possess a thorough working knowledge and understanding of this Act.
