Changing property managers in NSW — common questions
Can I change property managers during an existing tenancy?
Yes. Changing managing agents does not end the tenancy. The existing tenancy agreement continues, and the focus is on transferring management responsibilities, records and communication to the new agent with as little disruption as possible.
How much notice do I need to give my current property manager?
The notice period is usually set by your current management agency agreement. It is important to check the termination provisions in that agreement before giving notice. In some cases, the parties may agree to end the appointment earlier.
Who contacts my current managing agent?
Once YAY Real Estate is formally appointed and the required notice arrangements are clear, we can coordinate directly with the outgoing managing agent to organise the handover and reduce the administrative burden on you.
What happens to the tenant and rent payments during the change?
The tenancy itself continues. The practical aim is to update the tenant clearly about the change in managing agent and make sure future rent payments and day-to-day communication move across smoothly to the new management arrangement.
What happens to the rental bond?
The rental bond does not need to be refunded and lodged again simply because the managing agent changes. The managing-agent details associated with the bond can be updated as part of the handover process.
What records, keys and documents are transferred?
A proper handover should include the tenancy file and relevant records, rent and payment information, keys, maintenance history, inspection records and other property or compliance documents held by the outgoing agent.
Are there costs involved in changing property managers?
Any termination fee or other cost depends on your existing management agency agreement and the circumstances of the change. We can help you review the practical handover steps, but you should check your current agreement for any applicable termination provisions or fees.
