Frequently Asked Questions — Landlords

How do you find and screen tenants?

We advertise on all major portals including realestate.com.au and domain.com.au, plus Facebook Marketplace and our own database of pre-qualified tenants. Every applicant is screened with reference checks, employment verification and rental history assessment before any recommendation is made.

How often are routine inspections carried out?

Under South Australian tenancy law, routine inspections are conducted at regular intervals, typically every 3 months after the initial inspection. Full photo reports are provided to you after each visit.

What happens if a tenant falls behind on rent?

We have a strict arrears management process. Tenants are contacted promptly at any sign of arrears, and we follow all required SA tenancy law procedures — including formal notices where needed — to protect your income and your property.

How is maintenance handled?

Tenants submit maintenance requests through our system. We assess urgency, arrange our trusted local trades at competitive rates, keep you informed throughout, and manage all invoicing. You'll never be left chasing a tradie.

Can I rent out my granny flat?

Yes — secondary dwellings are a great way to generate additional income. Before leasing, you'll need a development approval, Certificate of Occupancy, and compliance with SA building standards. We can guide you through each compliance step.
