How your investment property is managed, from preparation to review.
The exact inclusions, boundaries and charges belong in a written proposal. These are the practical areas owners can discuss with Brandi.
Prepare and position
Review the property, its presentation, timing and the relevant evidence behind an indicative rental position.Market and lease
Plan advertising, inspections and application handling around the property and the proposed tenant profile.Select carefully
Check identity, income, rental history and references, with the owner involved in the decision.Manage actively

Consider renewals, rent reviews and end-of-tenancy steps against the property record and current evidence. In Queensland, rent can be increased no more than once every 12 months, and the limit applies to the property rather than the tenancy, as set out by the Residential Tenancies Authority.How tenants are selected for your property.
Applications are assessed through the available evidence, not a single impression.

Thinking of changing property managers?
Request a Sunshine Coast rental appraisal.
A useful rental assessment considers location, configuration, presentation, current leased evidence, competing properties, tenant demand and timing. The result is indicative, not guaranteed.
Brandi can explain the evidence behind the proposed rental position and prepare a written management proposal if you are considering an appointment.ELITE Lifestyle Properties collects these details to prepare your rental appraisal and contact you about it. They are stored in our client records and shared only with the ELITE team handling your enquiry. See our Privacy Policy for access, correction and complaints. This form is protected by reCAPTCHA.
Before you appoint: property management questions, answered.
Clear answers for the decisions owners most often need to make.
How do I choose the best property manager on the Sunshine Coast?
Look for a named property manager who knows your area, explains the rental evidence behind their advice, sets out fees and service boundaries in writing, and documents inspections, maintenance and owner reporting. Brandi can walk you through how ELITE handles each of these before you appoint a rental manager.What could my property rent for?
That depends on the property, its location and configuration, presentation, current leased evidence, competing properties, tenant demand and timing. A rental appraisal should explain the evidence behind the indicative range rather than rely on a generic estimate.What does a rental appraisal involve?
Brandi reviews the property and relevant current market evidence, then discusses an indicative rental position and the practical steps required if you are considering leasing or changing managers.Can I change property managers during a tenancy?
Often yes, subject to the terms of your current management agreement. When the manager changes during a tenancy, the outgoing and incoming property managers sign a Change of property manager/owner (Form 5), a copy goes to the RTA and to the tenant, and the existing lease continues. If the bond contributors change, a Change of bond contributors (RTA Form 6) is also completed. ELITE can review your agreement with you before any change is made.What does property management cost?
Fees, letting charges, recurring costs, GST treatment and service boundaries are set out in a written proposal before appointment so you can assess the complete arrangement.How are tenants assessed?
Applications are assessed using the available evidence, including identity, employment and income information, rental history, references and screening. The owner remains involved in the tenant decision.How are repairs approved?
The owner’s agreed authority is recorded during onboarding. Requests are assessed against urgency, tenancy obligations and the property record, with non-urgent work above the agreed threshold quoted before it proceeds.How often will I receive updates?
Reporting includes owner statements and documented inspection information, with direct contact when a decision or recommendation requires your attention.What happens if rent falls behind?
The tenancy is managed through the applicable process and current Queensland tenancy requirements, with the owner kept informed where action or a decision is required.What should I prepare before leasing?
Start with presentation, maintenance, keys, property information and any compliance items relevant to the property. Brandi can identify the practical preparation required before marketing begins.Can ELITE manage my property while I live elsewhere?
Yes. The management approach is designed around direct communication, documented reporting and a clear point of contact, which is particularly useful for interstate owners.How often can a rental property be inspected in Queensland?
Routine inspections can be carried out no more than once every three months, unless the tenant agrees in writing. The tenant must receive at least 7 days’ notice on an Entry notice (Form 9), and entry must be between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday, at a stated time or within a two-hour window.How much bond can be taken, and where is it lodged?
For a general tenancy, the bond can be no more than four weeks’ rent. The tenant must be given a receipt, and the bond must be lodged with the Residential Tenancies Authority (RTA) within 10 days using a Bond lodgement (Form 2).Queensland tenancy rules above were checked against the Residential Tenancies Authority in October 2026 and are general information, not legal advice. Last updated October 2026.
