How We Manage Rental Property

How We Manage Your Rental Property

Owning an investment property involves much more than collecting rent. Effective property management requires regular communication, careful record keeping, tenancy administration, maintenance coordination and an understanding of Queensland residential tenancy requirements.

Earthgold Realty provides property management services for landlords and investors in Calamvale, Parkinson, Algester, Pallara and surrounding suburbs in Brisbane’s south.

Our aim is to make the day-to-day management of your investment property as straightforward as possible while keeping you informed about your property and tenancy.

Rent Collection and Owner Payments

We manage rent collection and monitor rental payments throughout the tenancy.

Depending on your agreed arrangements, our property management service may include:

• Rent collection and arrears monitoring

• Owner disbursements

• Detailed owner statements

• Records of rental income and property-related expenses

• Processing applicable tenant water usage charges

• Payment of approved property expenses on your behalf

Clear financial records help property owners keep track of the income and expenses associated with their investment property.

Tenant and Lease Management

Earthgold Realty manages the tenancy administration associated with your rental property, including preparation of tenancy documentation and ongoing communication with tenants.

Our services may include:

• Preparation of tenancy agreements and related documentation

• Entry Condition Reports with supporting photographs

• Bond lodgement and administration

• Routine inspections and property condition reporting

• Rent reviews based on applicable requirements and market conditions

• Processing relevant tenancy notices

• Exit inspections and end-of-tenancy administration

• Communication with owners and tenants throughout the tenancy

Routine Inspections

Routine inspections are an important part of managing a rental property.

Where permitted under Queensland tenancy requirements, Earthgold Realty conducts routine inspections to assess the general condition of the property, identify maintenance issues and provide owners with information about their investment.

Inspection reports may include photographs where appropriate.

Repairs and Maintenance

Maintenance issues can arise at any time during a tenancy.

Earthgold Realty coordinates approved repairs and maintenance and can liaise with appropriately qualified tradespeople where required.

Depending on the property and the owner’s instructions, we can also assist with coordinating services such as:

• General repairs and maintenance

• Cleaning

• Lawn and garden maintenance

• Pool maintenance

• Pest control

• Smoke alarm servicing and other applicable safety requirements

Owners are kept informed of significant maintenance matters and approval is obtained where required.

Rent Reviews and Local Market Knowledge

Rental markets change over time.

Earthgold Realty monitors relevant local rental activity and can discuss rental pricing with owners when a rent review is appropriate.

We consider factors such as comparable rental properties, property condition, location, current tenant demand and applicable Queensland tenancy requirements.

Communication and Record Keeping

Good property management depends on clear communication.

We maintain detailed property and tenancy records and communicate with owners regarding important matters affecting their property.

Owners can receive regular statements and updates and access relevant property information through the systems provided as part of their management service.

Property Management Support

Property management also involves responding to issues as they arise and helping owners understand their responsibilities.

Earthgold Realty can assist with tenancy-related matters and, where appropriate, liaise with relevant service providers such as tradespeople and insurers.

For financial, taxation or legal matters outside the scope of property management, owners should obtain advice from an appropriately qualified professional.
