For owners

Looking after your rental

Noor looks after each home from the first appraisal to the last inspection. Grant, our principal, supervises every tenancy.

Start with a free rental appraisal

Noor or Saskia comes to see the place, then looks at what similar homes nearby are renting for. You get a weekly rent figure in writing. It’s our estimate, not a guarantee.

Call

Asking for an appraisal doesn’t sign you up to anything. We only start once you’ve signed our written appointment.

In writing, before we start. Queensland requires a written appointment (Form 6) before an agent provides any service. Ours lists these services and fees, and you sign it first. About the written appointment

Changing to us from another manager

Your tenants stay put and their lease carries on. Only the manager changes.

  1. Check your current agreement

    It says how much notice your agency needs. Noor can read it with you.

  2. Sign ours, then give notice

    Sign our written appointment, then give your agency notice in writing. We can draft the letter.

  3. The handover

    On the changeover day, your old agency passes across:

    Records
    The lease, condition and inspection reports, invoices, and the keys.
    The bond
    Stays lodged. We handle the paperwork.
    Rent held
    Anything they hold for you is paid out with their final statement. Then rent comes to us.
  4. Your tenants hear from us

    Before the changeover, we write to them: from that day, who to call, how to pay rent, and the number for urgent repairs.

How soon? That depends on the notice in your current agreement. We’ll tell you the likely changeover day once we’ve read it, but we won’t promise a date your old agency controls.

Questions we get a lot

Owners

What rent could my property get?

We look at the home, its condition and what’s included, and at what similar homes nearby are renting for. You get a weekly figure in writing. It’s our estimate on the day, not a guarantee.

Can I switch to you while tenants live there?

Yes. They stay, and their lease carries on. How the move works.

Who approves repairs?

You set a spending limit in your appointment. Under it, we go ahead and the invoice shows on your statement. Over it, we ask you first. An emergency repair is the exception: we act, then tell you straight away.

What happens if rent is late?

We follow it up with the tenant and let you know. If it stays unpaid, we take the steps Queensland’s tenancy rules set out and keep you told at each one. If you have landlord insurance, what it covers depends on your policy.

Tenants

How do I apply for one of your homes?

Online on this site, or on paper. Both use Queensland’s standard form and both are free. Applying.

Is my repair urgent?

Queensland law has a list of emergency repairs, and the RTA sets it out. If you’re not sure, call (07) 5550 0349 and ask.

How do I make a complaint?

Tell Grant Ellison, our principal, by phone, email or letter, whichever is easiest. It costs nothing, and we can help you put it in writing. Complaints.
