PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

CHANGES TO THE RTA

We have been receiving a lot of calls and emails lately from our landlords, concerned about the proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act 1987. Recently, the CY team attended an industry breakfast hosted by REIWA CEO Cath Hart, focused on what these changes will mean for both landlords and tenants. We´re now able to report back to our clients regarding how these changes may affect them and offer some reassurance to those who are worrying about the impact on their investment properties. First, it´s important to emphasise that the amendments have not started yet and are not expected to come into effect until the middle of next year. For now, the current RTA still stands. There is some good news for landlords,

and overall, the changes being made to our legislation here in WA are a lot better than in other states around Australia. The biggest win for investors is that no grounds terminations will not be removed. Other proposed changes regarding pets and minor modifications are still being finalised in Parliament, and REIWA is working hard to obtain clear guidelines for property managers and ensure landlords’ best interests are protected. The fact is that legislation can and will change over time, and the best thing you can do as an investor is be prepared, but not alarmed. Having a great agent who is across any developments is flexible and able to adapt their processes in response is the key to long-term success.

If you´re concerned about the effect the RTA amendments will have on your investment strategy, please don´t hesitate to get in touch with us.

CY LEASING LEADS THE PACK

Despite an incredibly tight rental market with record low vacancy rates, our leasing team managed to improve on their 2021-22 results in the 2022-23 financial year. In the previous financial year, we received 14,614 enquiries and leased 281 properties, which we deemed a fantastic result given the conditions. This financial year we received slightly fewer enquiries - 13,226 in totalyet still managed to lease 290 properties.

As the rental crisis across the country begins to show signs of easing, vacancy rates are still sitting at 60 per cent below pre-COVID levels in Perth, with increased migration from interstate and overseas driving this shortage.

We are still seeing huge numbers coming through our home opens and receiving multiple applications for many of our rental properties. There is high demand within every segment of the market, from student apartments to family homes in the suburbs and high-end executive residences.

Our leasing team keep in touch with unsuccessful applicants, which means our landlords rarely need to worry about lengthy periods of vacancy or searching for qualified tenants - but we need more properties on our books if we´re going to meet the growing demand. We have plenty of fantastic tenants ready and waiting to move in, so we´d love to hear from you if you own a suitable property.
