Our Services:

Tenanting Your Property:

One of the most important aspects of letting your property is ensuring that the tenants that move into it will care for the property, maintain the section and pay the rent on time. Phoenix Property Management screens all potential tenants using appropriate reference checks to help you make an informed decision.

Residential Tenancies Act:

All tenants and landlords are bound by the Residential Tenancies Act; this ensures you get maximum legal protection when letting your property. Our Property Managers are fully trained and conversant with the provisions of this Act. The Act is a highly specialized piece of legislation and requires property managers to be competent and thorough when dealing with all tenants and rental properties.

Bond Collection and Administration:

Phoenix Property Management will take care of the collection and lodgment of all bonds.

The bond is sent to the Department of Building and Housing where it is kept until the tenants vacate. A confirmation letter will be forwarded to both the landlord and the tenant as well as a copy of the bond refund form, which states how much is kept and the tenants details.

An ingoing inspection time will be arranged and confirmed with the landlord.

Renewal of lease:

Phoenix Property Management will contact you once the tenancy is due to expire and will either process the renewal of the lease (with your approval) or will discuss the option of re-marketing and finding new suitable tenants.

Changeover:

Once the Tenancy Agreement has been finalized the Letting Agent will contact the Landlord and make a time to meet and go over the documents. At this time the keys will be returned and the ingoing time will be finalized. The landlord will then be given all relevant documents and informed of what they need to do at the ingoing inspection with the tenants.
