Property management for Perth investors

Nimbu Realty manages residential investment properties across the Perth metropolitan area for owners who want their property looked after properly without handling the tenancy day to day.

We look after leasing, rent collection, inspections, maintenance, compliance and reporting. The portfolio is deliberately kept small, so the person managing your property knows it, knows your tenant and answers the phone.

How we manage your property

Nimbu Realty manages residential investment property across the Perth metropolitan area on a deliberately limited portfolio. Fewer properties per manager means owners get answers the same day and tenants get maintenance attended to before small problems turn into expensive ones.

Onboarding and Setup

We start with a rental appraisal supported by current comparable lettings, then handle marketing, photography and listing across the major portals. Where a property is already tenanted, the transfer is managed without disruption, including bond records, lease documents and the existing property condition report.

Tenant Selection and Rent

Applications are checked against tenancy databases, employment and previous rental history before any recommendation reaches you, and you make the final decision. Rent is monitored daily and arrears are actioned immediately under the Residential Tenancies Act 1987.

Maintenance and Compliance

Routine inspections are carried out on schedule and reported with photographs. Repairs are quoted through licensed trades and approved against limits you set, and smoke alarm, RCD and pool barrier obligations are tracked and renewed before they fall due.

Reporting and Reviews

Owners receive monthly statements and an end of financial year summary ready for the accountant. Rent reviews are prepared ahead of each lease expiry with market evidence attached, so the decision to hold or increase is an informed one.

Keeping a WA rental compliant

Residential tenancies in WA are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act 1987, and several rules changed in recent years. These are the ones that affect owners most:

  • Rent can be increased no more than once every 12 months, with at least 60 days’ written notice to the tenant.
  • Routine inspections are limited to four a year, with 7 to 14 days’ written notice, during set hours unless the tenant agrees otherwise.
  • Smoke alarms must be mains powered, working and less than 10 years old, and the property needs two RCDs on the switchboard.
  • Tenants can ask to make minor modifications, such as picture hooks or flyscreens, and can ask to keep a pet. Owners have 14 days to respond to either request, and refusing for most reasons needs the Commissioner’s approval.

The WA Government has also proposed further changes, including ending no-grounds terminations and introducing minimum standards for rentals. These are not yet law. We track them and will let owners know what changes, and when, before it affects your property.

Frequently asked questions

Management fees in WA are not set by law. They are agreed with you and written into the management agreement, along with what is included. Ours covers rent collection, arrears follow-up, routine inspections, maintenance coordination, compliance tracking and monthly and end of financial year statements, with leasing set out separately.

The Act allows up to four routine inspections a year, each with 7 to 14 days’ written notice to the tenant. We agree an inspection schedule with you and send a written report with photographs after each visit.

No more than once every 12 months, for both fixed term and periodic tenancies, and the tenant must receive at least 60 days’ written notice. We prepare rent reviews with current market evidence so the decision to hold or increase is an informed one.

Arrears are followed up the day they occur. If rent stays unpaid, the Act sets out a formal breach notice process with fixed timeframes, and we issue the correct notices on time and keep you informed at each step.

Yes. We manage the handover from your current agent or from you, including the bond records, lease documents and the existing property condition report, so the tenant’s experience is not disrupted.

Tenants can ask for your consent to make minor modifications, such as installing picture hooks, LED globes or flyscreens. You have 14 days to respond. Unless a law or strata rule prevents it, or it would disturb asbestos or affect a heritage listed home, refusing needs the Commissioner’s approval.

Yes. Before a property is rented it must have compliant smoke alarms and two RCDs on the switchboard. We track these obligations and arrange licensed trades to check and replace them before they fall due.
