We provide regular updates through email, phone, or our online portal. You’ll receive inspection reports, rental payments, and maintenance updates promptly.

As a landlord in NSW, you have the right to:

• Receive rent on time.
• Conduct routine inspections with proper notice to tenants.
• Increase rent once every 12 months in accordance with tenancy laws.

We ensure that all your legal rights are upheld while maintaining positive and professional relationships with tenants. We comply with the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 and provide proactive communication to avoid any misunderstandings or disputes.
