Causal letting service

Find the best prospective tenants for you rental property in Habitat's causal letting service.

Are you a property investor who manages your own properties but doesn’t have the time or expertise to find the best tenants? Then it’s time to outsource this task to an expert. With our casual letting service, you can have our expert property managers do all the hard work while still maintaining control of your own property.

What is casual letting?

Casual letting services are when a professional property manager handles the entire process of finding prospective tenants and creating a residential tenancy agreement on your behalf. This includes providing you rent appraisals, marketing your rental property, screening suitable tenants, and creating the tenancy agreement to your requirements. Unlike other types of property management services, casual letting services are employed on a one-off fee basis and are not ongoing services. In other words, you can use this type of service whenever you need it without having to sign up for a long-term contract.

Why use casual letting services?

When it comes to finding the right tenant for your property, there are many benefits that come with using Habitat’s casual letting services. First and foremost, it saves you time and energy – two resources that would otherwise be spent hunting down a suitable tenant and ensuring you achieve the right rent amount. Additionally, our casual letting services are very affordable – costing only 1 weeks’ rental income from placing new tenants (minimum fee $500) – so it won’t break the bank either. Finally, by outsourcing this task to Habitat Property Management, you can rest assured knowing that your rental property will be filled with good tenants in no time at all!
