Finding the best tenants possible
​
At Rent Square, our property managers know what to look for in a great tenant. We also understand for first time investors, renting your property out can be a little daunting.
Years of experience also gives a property manager a “sixth sense” to spot high-risk applicants. This is a big advantage whether you’re a first-time landlord, or a seasoned investor. A professional property manager can spot a good tenant from a bad tenant.
Achieving the best rent possible
Rent Square has access to industry data that helps us calculate the ‘sweet spot’ for rent — the highest rent the market will bear without causing an extended vacancy time.
With less experience and data, a private landlord may find it much harder to calculate market rent.

Negotiating the lease
Whether you’re negotiating a new lease, or a renewal, an experienced property manager can help you to negotiate optimal rent, and ensure the lease is legal and valid.
An expert property manager can ensure that your lease is watertight, and also offer you tips and advice on an optimal lease term for the current market conditions.
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/landlord enquiries effectively. We know how important being contactable is when building a strong rapport with all our clients.
Collecting rent on time
Having rent paid on time may be crucial for you — and Rent Square is the right solution for you.
We will follow up on late rent payments and have the tough conversations necessary to protect the cash flow of your investment. Tenants will know that a late payment is not acceptable.
One of the biggest advantages of hiring a us is not having to worry about rent collection.
Rent Square will pay your rent on a schedule that works for you!
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.
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.
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.
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!).
Giving you a free Rental Appraisal
