FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Practical guidance for rental property owners choosing or changing a property manager. Every property and appointment is different, so we’ll confirm the details that apply to your situation.
A rental appraisal considers comparable local properties, current tenant demand, the property’s condition, features and presentation, and the timing of the campaign. RC Realty will provide a considered market range and explain the factors behind it.
Yes. Check your current Property Occupations Form 6 and any attached terms for the exact details. For a continuing property-management appointment, either you or the property manager can generally end the appointment with at least 30 days’ written notice, unless both parties agree in writing to an earlier end date. RC Realty can help coordinate a clear, orderly handover.
No—the tenancy itself continues. The outgoing and incoming managers coordinate the transfer of the tenancy file, keys, records and funds. The RTA is notified of the change using the Change of property manager/owner (Form 5), and the tenant receives the new management and rent-payment details.
Look for responsive communication, strong local rental knowledge, careful tenant selection, proactive arrears and maintenance processes, accurate reporting, regular inspections and a practical understanding of Queensland tenancy law.
Applications should be assessed consistently using relevant information such as identity, rental history, references and capacity to meet the tenancy obligations. RC Realty’s focus is a careful, compliant process that protects your property while treating applicants fairly and respectfully.
In Queensland, routine inspections generally cannot be carried out more than once every three months unless the tenant agrees in writing. At least seven days’ notice must be given using an Entry notice (Form 9). Inspection findings should then be clearly reported to the owner.
Tenants should report repair needs promptly. Routine repairs must be addressed within a reasonable timeframe, while legislatively defined emergency repairs require prompt action. A good management plan includes clear spending authority, reliable trades and regular owner updates.
For most Queensland residential tenancies, rent cannot be increased unless at least 12 months have passed since the current rent became payable for the premises. The correct notice and agreement requirements must also be followed. RC Realty can review the tenancy history and current market before recommending any change.
For a general Queensland tenancy, the bond is capped at four weeks’ rent and must be lodged with the RTA within 10 days of receipt. When management changes, the bond remains with the RTA and the managing-party details are updated as part of the handover.
