Frequently Asked Questions
If you are considering renting out your property or an investment property here are what other investors are asking…
How does renting my property work? What’s the process?
- Confirm you definitely want to rent your property
- Confirm in what time frame you want to rent it – when you would like the tenants to move in
- Assess your insurance needs (see FAQ)
- Think about what rent you’d like
- Think about what you value and need in a property manager
- Decide which property manager to use
- Check the property to make sure all compliance requirements are met (see FAQ)
- Confirm what furniture, if any, to leave behind (see FAQ)
- Ensure the property is looking the best it ever has for professional photos, video and 3D virtual tour footage
- Advertise with your property manager
- Assess the market and tenants
- Find the best tenant
- Make sure the conditions in the lease agreement match what you want, what was agreed, and check all potential grey areas
- Make sure your property manager is doing their job
- Check your rental statements and inspection reports and communicate regularly with your property manager
- Sit back, wait for the rent to come in and get on with your life.
How do I keep track of rent and the property?
There are a number of ways to keep track of rent – you can:
- monitor your banking account
- request statements from your property manager to be sent regularly
- request receipts from the property manager when rent is transferred
- monitor all property management activity through the online portal.
How often do I get the rent money?
The two variables are when the tenants pay the rent and when the agency forwards the rent to you.
Tenants are required to pay rent when it’s due. The agency you use will usually pay it forward to you monthly.
At Red Gum Property Management we pay it weekly.
Can your property manager pay the bills like rates, water, body corporate for me?
Some owners like to pay the bills themselves while some like their property manager to pay the bills for them. This can easily be organised with the council or the body corporate.
The caveat here is to make sure you choose the right property manager before doing this. It will be their responsibility to make sure they receive and pay the bills on time every time.
What is the best lease length to have for the tenants?
A 12 months lease works for long term tenancies. This can change with individual circumstances. Twelve months is enough time for a tenant to feel they need to look after the property as their own and settle in.
However, it’s also not so long that it could affect rent increases or ending relationships that are just not working out.
When can I increase the rent?
In Queensland, you can only legally increase the rent once every 12 months. Rents move quickly so it’s advisable to assess what the rent is every 12 months.
How can my property manager help me get the best return for my property?
- Finding good tenants who stay a long time and look after the property.
A week without rent means a big difference to your bottom line.
Having tenants look after your property will save you a lot of money on maintenance.
Tenants who make a home of your investment property are your second best business partners (after your property manager). - Great advertising will attract the best tenants. Fuzzy pictures, pictures on an angle, an introduction to the property in poor English and an unhelpful property manager will only make finding good tenants that much harder.
- The details of your property management fees add up over the years. Get the best deal you can.
