How often do you inspect the property?
Access to rental funds
How do you select the tenants?
Property inspections are conducted on a regular basis. The first inspection is performed after 6 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter. Legislation in WA states that no more than 4 inspection each year. During these inspections we are checking an maintenance that may be required and that the tenant is maintaining the property well.
At Resident Property we believe that you should have the control over your rental funds. You have the flexibility to access your funds as the tenant makes a rent payment, or you can leave it in your wallet until you are ready to transfer it. This is all controlled via the Ailo app. All your inspections, statements etc will be on the app ready for you as you want it. You will also be able to see all tenant rent payments as the tenant makes them
We conduct thorough tenant referencing, including employment referencing, previous rental history and tenancy database checking. Our goal is to find reliable tenants who will take care of your property and pay rent on time.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions property owners have about our management services.
-
Can I enter the property during a tenancy?Yes, but only under specific circumstances and with proper notice. Generally, you need to provide at least 7 days' written notice for inspections and 72 hours' notice for repairs or maintenance. Entry must be at a reasonable time, and you can only enter for legitimate reasons (like routine inspections, repairs, showing the property to prospective tenants or buyers, or emergencies).
-
How much can I increase the rent, and how often?In WA, rent increases are regulated. For fixed-term leases, rent can only be increased if the lease agreement specifies this and states the amount or the method of calculation. In periodic tenancies, rent can be increased no more than once every 6 months, and you must give at least 60 days’ written notice. There are no caps on the amount, but increases must be fair and in line with market value to avoid disputes.
-
What are my responsibilities for repairs and maintenance?Landlords are legally required to ensure the property is safe, clean, and in good repair. Urgent repairs (like dangerous electrical faults, burst water pipes, or gas leaks) must be attended to immediately. Non-urgent repairs should be addressed within a reasonable time frame. Tenants are responsible for minor upkeep, like changing lightbulbs or keeping the garden tidy, but landlords carry the responsibility for structural and essential maintenance.
-
What is depreciation?Depreciation is a tax deduction for the natural wear and tear of your property and its contents. There are two types: Capital works (building structure) Plant and equipment (carpets, appliances, etc.) A depreciation schedule prepared by a professional can boost your tax deductions and cash flow.
-
Where is a good place to buy?It depends on your goals. Look for: High rental demand Infrastructure growth Affordable price points with good rental returns Locally, suburbs like Baldivis, Secret Harbour, Rockingham, Port Kennedy, Warnbro, Waikiki, Golden Bay, and Singleton offer great opportunities. I also offer a Property Profiling Service to help you assess which areas suit your investment goals.
-
How do I work out the yield?Yield measures your return on investment. Gross yield = (Annual rent ÷ Purchase price) × 100 Net yield = (Annual rent – Expenses) ÷ Purchase price × 100 Gross gives you a quick snapshot, but net is more realistic because it factors in ongoing costs like rates, insurance, and maintenance.
-
What are your property management fees and what do they cover?Management fees in WA range from 6% to 12% of the weekly rent. The exact fee will be quoted following an appraisal, once we’ve discussed your goals and tailored a management plan to suit your property and preferences. Our standard management fee typically covers: Rent Collection – Prompt processing of rent payments and arrears management. Maintenance Coordination – Organising repairs and liaising with trusted contractors. Tenant Communication – Managing day-to-day tenant queries and concerns. Financial Reporting – Regular statements and an end-of-financial-year summary. Additional services, such as tenant sourcing, advertising, and lease renewals and inspections may attract separate fees, which will be clearly outlined in your management agreement. We ensure all costs are transparent, so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
-
How often are routine inspections conducted, and will I receive reports?In Western Australia, property managers are allowed to conduct up to four routine inspections per year . Typically, these are scheduled as follows: First Inspection: Approximately six weeks after a new tenancy begins. Subsequent Inspections: Every three months thereafter After each inspection, landlords receive a detailed report, which may include photographs and notes on the property's condition. These reports help in monitoring the property's upkeep and addressing any issues promptly.
-
How do you screen prospective tenants?Effective tenant screening is crucial to ensure reliable and responsible occupants. A comprehensive screening process typically includes Rental History Check: Contacting previous landlords to verify the tenant's rental behavior and ledger and a copy of the last routine inspection report Employment and Income Verification: Ensuring the tenant has a stable income to meet rent obligations. Reference Checks: Gathering insights from personal or professional references. National Tenancy Database Review: Checking for any past tenancy issues or blacklisting. This thorough approach helps in selecting tenants who are more likely to pay rent on time and care for the property.
