PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PERTH

Yes, Perth property management fees are tax-deductible, as long as you are using your investment property for rental purposes. You can also claim:

• Repairs and damages (not including general improvements)
• Home loan interest
• Strata fees
• Property depreciation

Great question — and the answer is, quite a lot. Our Perth property managers will help you:

• Market your property
• Find and screen quality tenants
• Collect rent and bond payments
• Conduct regular inspections
• Coordinate maintenance and repairs
• Resolve tenant issues and late payments
• Handle lease agreements and end-of-lease processes


At Semple, our rental management in Perth covers all this and more, with a focus on long-term value and great communication.

You will need to pay for any maintenance or repairs carried out on your property. Repairs will be communicated to you prior to being carried out, except in the case of an emergency, in which case your property manager may pay for repairs on your behalf for later reimbursement – but only to a limit predetermined by you.

Our trusted real estate team in Perth has a fantastic network of maintenance and repairmen, meaning you’ll get quality work at a great price every time.

You’ll have to submit a written notice to your existing property manager stating that you won’t be renewing your contract. Keep in mind any contractual agreements that may prevent you from leaving before a certain date, and also pay attention to any notice times outlined – some contracts will require up to 90 days’ notice. Once you’ve submitted your written notice, give us a call and we can completely take care of the handover for you.

We look at current trends in the Perth property market, recent rental results in your suburb, and the demand for your type of property. Then, we use our experience and data (plus a bit of intuition) to guide pricing.

Inspections happen after 6 weeks of a new tenancy, then every 3 months — as required by the Residential Tenancies Act.
You’ll receive clear reports and updates every time, so you’re always in the know about your investment.

Tenants are advised that rent is to be paid in advance at the commencement of their tenancy. Semple Property Group provides a reminder via text message when a tenant falls 2 days behind in rent. If the rent still remains unpaid, a breach notice is issued to the tenant. This generally has a positive result, however, should the rent still remain unpaid, a termination notice is given to the tenant for vacant possession within 7 days. Following this process and time frame a tenant should not exceed 21 days of arrears before rent is up to date or they vacate the property. The beauty of getting property management in Perth is that you don’t have to deal with it – we’ve got it all covered.

We aim to have a maximum of 7 days of your property being vacant. The property is advertised and home opens completed to ensure the property is leased within the shortest possible vacancy period.

Not all property management companies offer the same level of service. At Semple, we focus on smaller portfolios, better communication, and long-term results for landlords.
Our approach to rental property management in Perth is simple: keep you informed, protect your investment, and make the entire process as stress-free as possible.

Property management in Perth is typically charged as a percentage of your weekly rent, generally sitting between 7–10% depending on the level of service and portfolio size. You'll also pay a one-off leasing fee when a new tenant is placed. The good news is that property management fees, along with many other rental expenses, are tax-deductible.

Yes. The lease is tied to the property, not the manager, so switching doesn't disrupt your tenant or the tenancy itself. You'll need to give your current property manager written notice and double check your agreement, as some require up to 90 days' notice. Once notice is submitted, Semple takes care of the entire handover for you, from records to tenant communication, so nothing falls through the cracks.

We manage rental properties across Perth's southern and coastal suburbs, including South Lake, Cockburn, Fremantle, Melville, Attadale, Bicton, Leeming, Harrisdale, Piara Waters, Aubin Grove, Treeby, Coogee, Baldivis, Rockingham, Mandurah and the surrounding areas. Each suburb has a dedicated local property manager who knows the local rental market inside out. Don't see your suburb listed? Get in touch because chances are, we cover it.

Around 60–90 days before your lease expires, your property manager contacts you and the tenant to discuss the options: renewing the lease, moving to a periodic agreement, or finding a new tenant. We'll also arrange the final inspection, process the bond return in line with the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (WA), and review your rent against current market conditions.

Yes. Many of our landlords live outside WA, and some are overseas. Everything is handled remotely through email, phone and our Property Tree portal, where you can view statements, inspection reports and lease documents at any time. You'll also receive regular updates and monthly financial statements, so you always know how your investment is performing, wherever you're based.

Tenants can submit maintenance requests through our online portal or by phone, any time. We coordinate directly with our trusted network of local tradespeople and notify you before any work goes ahead, except in a genuine emergency. Every job is documented with invoices provided, so you always have a clear record of what's been done, when, and why.
