MANAGEMENT, ITEMISED
What management includes, floor to ceiling.
A management authority with Lattimer is a fixed set of duties done on a fixed clock. This page is the full inventory: what happens, when it happens, and what it costs on the board.
Leasing & screening
Photography, listing, open homes and applications. Database checks, income verification and a direct call to the previous landlord before any lease is offered.
Rent & arrears
Rent due on the first, disbursed with the statement. The arrears clock starts at day one and runs to tribunal without drifting.
Inspections
Entry, routine four times a year, and exit. Photographed room by room, faults priced, the file kept against the building for as long as we hold it.
Maintenance
Vetted trades, two quotes over your approval threshold, invoices passed through at cost. You set the threshold; we keep the receipts.
Compliance
Smoke alarms, entry regulations, bond lodgement, notice periods. The calendar is ours to watch, and it is watched.
Statements & year end
A monthly statement that explains itself and a year-end summary your accountant can file from directly. No portal fee, no paper fee.

The worked example
A $2,400 a month apartment, one full year, one renewal: management $2,275, renewal $299. Total $2,574, and the board has no other lines. That is the entire cost of never thinking about it.
No marketing surcharge. No invoice markup. If a line is not on the board, it does not exist.
Asked at every appraisal
Can I keep my current tenant?
Yes. The lease, the bond and the tenant all carry over untouched. Only the manager changes, and the tenant gets a better repairs line out of it.
What does the approval threshold mean?
You set a dollar limit, commonly $500. Below it we fix things without waking you. Above it you get quotes and the decision stays yours.
Am I locked in?
No exit penalties. The authority runs on a notice period, the same one we honour when owners join us from elsewhere. We keep buildings by managing them well.
Who actually looks after my property?
One named manager with a capped portfolio, backed by the office. Their name is on your file, their line is on your statement, and they walk your building themselves.
