How to change property management in 3 Easy Steps!

1

Decide to change property managers

If your current property manager is not delivering, there is no reason to wait. You do not need to be at the end of your lease, and you do not need to wait for a vacant property. Queensland law allows landlords to terminate a property management agreement with appropriate written notice, and we can walk you through that process today.

Signs It Is Time to Change Property Managers

How to Change Property Management

Poor Communication

If calls and emails go unanswered, or your property manager only reaches out when something has already gone wrong, that is a red flag. Effective communication is the foundation of good property management. At Affinity, our landlords always know what is happening with their property.

How to Change Property Management

Unresolved Maintenance and Repairs

Deferred maintenance costs landlords’ money. If your current agent is slow to action repairs, failing to use reliable tradespeople, or leaving tenants to chase issues themselves, your property is at risk of long-term damage and tenant churn.

How to Change Property Management

Late Rent and Poor Arrears Management

Late rental payments are not just an inconvenience. They erode your cash flow and signal weak tenant management. Affinity runs an arrears rate consistently below 0.5%. Our landlords get paid on time, every time.

How to Change Property Management

No Proactive Rent Reviews

If your rent has not been reviewed in the past 12 months, you may be leaving hundreds of dollars per week on the table. A proactive property manager monitors the market continuously and recommends rental increases at the right time.

How to Change Property Management

Are you tired of the same old mistakes?

Repeated mistakes in financial reporting, missed routine inspections, incorrectly processed water charges, or late EOFY statements are all signs of a management team that is stretched too thin or simply not across the detail. These errors have real financial consequences for landlords.

When it comes to urgent issues, these will be resolved in 48 hours. We maximise profitability and rentability.

FAQs

Yes. You do not need to wait until your current tenancy ends or the property is vacant. You can change property managers at any time by providing written notice to your current agent in accordance with your management agreement. Affinity will manage the entire transition, including the handover of all tenancy documents, so your tenant experience is uninterrupted.

In Queensland, most property management agreements require a minimum of 30 days written notice to terminate. Some agreements may stipulate 60 or 90 days, or include an early-exit fee. We recommend reviewing your Form 6 agreement before giving notice, and our team can help you interpret the terms if you are unsure.

Changing to Affinity Property costs you nothing. There are no transfer fees, no on-boarding charges, and no setup costs. We absorb the administrative cost of the changeover because we want to make the decision as easy as possible for landlords.

Your tenant is not affected by the change. Their lease remains valid, their bond remains lodged with the RTA, and they simply receive a notice advising them of the new property management contact. We handle that communication for you.

Your previous agent is legally required to hand over all tenancy documents, including the tenancy application, signed lease agreement, entry condition report and photographs, bond lodgement confirmation, maintenance history, and rent ledger. Affinity manages this handover process on your behalf and follows up to ensure everything is received.

Once you provide written notice to your current agency, we can complete the administrative changeover in under one hour. The full transition, including document handover, typically takes effect within the agreed notice period.
