Why Landlords Switch Property Managers
We speak to landlords every week who've reached a breaking point with their current agency. The reasons are almost always the same.
No One to Talk To
You can't get your property manager on the phone. Emails go unanswered. Maintenance requests sit unresolved for weeks. You're left guessing what's actually happening with your investment.
Fees That Don't Add Up
Charges on your statement you didn't approve. A fee structure that's deliberately hard to read. The headline rate looked fine it's the extras that sting.
Poor Tenant Quality
Properties sitting vacant too long. Tenants placed without adequate screening. Arrears, damage, and disputes that could have been avoided with a more rigorous process from the start.
Sales Before Management
Your agency is more focused on selling properties than managing them. The incentives don't align their biggest commissions come from sales, not from keeping your investment performing.
How to Switch Property Managers (Step-by-Step)
Check Your Current Agreement
Review your management agreement for notice periods and exit clauses. Most contracts require 30 days' written notice. Some have early termination fees worth knowing upfront. We can help you understand what you're dealing with.
Gather Your Property Documents
Collect your current lease, tenant details, maintenance records, and recent statements. Your new manager will need these to take over smoothly. If you can't locate them, your current agent is obliged to provide copies.
Give Written Notice
Send formal notice to your current manager. Email is fine, but registered mail creates a clear record. Include your intended handover date and request a final financial statement.
We Take Over From Here
Once you engage us, we handle the paperwork, coordinate with your outgoing manager, notify your tenant, and take over rent collection. Most transitions are complete within 7-10 business days.
Business as Usual
Your tenant continues on the same lease with no disruption. Rent goes to your account on schedule. You'll have direct access to Dylan and start receiving regular updates from day one.

Will my tenant be affected?
No. Your tenant stays on the same lease with no interruption. We handle all communication with them directly. From their perspective, the only change is who they pay rent to and who they contact for maintenance.
What if I'm locked into a contract with my current agent?
Check your management agreement for notice periods and exit clauses. Most require 30 days' written notice. If there are early termination fees, we're happy to discuss your situation and help you work through it.
How long does the transition take?
Typically 7-10 business days. We coordinate with your outgoing manager and keep you updated throughout. In most cases, landlords are surprised by how straightforward it is.
Will there be a gap in rent collection?
No. Rent collection continues uninterrupted throughout the transition. We take over the process and ensure payments go to your account on schedule.
What are your fees?
Competitive and fully transparent we provide a detailed fee schedule upfront with no hidden charges. Fees vary depending on the property and location, so get in touch for a tailored quote.
