Kent Town Property Management

Property Management By Investors, For Investors

Kent Town is a renter’s suburb. At the 2021 Census, 57.0% of its occupied homes were rented, more than double the South Australian rate of 27.6%, and 60.3% were flats or apartments. Almost half of households, 48.6%, were one person living alone.

As a landlord, expect demand for one- and two-bedroom homes, and expect plenty of similar listings competing with yours. Presentation, parking and an accurate asking rent decide how quickly yours leases. Axiom Realty has leased apartments in Kent Town and many more in the Adelaide city centre next door.

Managing Apartments and Townhouses in Kent Town

Strata schemes, converted buildings and heritage

Most rentals in Kent Town belong to a strata or community scheme, from walk-up flats to converted industrial buildings such as the former Kent Town Brewery malthouse, now apartments. Common property, and usually the building insurance, is the corporation’s responsibility, and you are responsible for what sits inside your lot.

On your behalf we talk to the corporation’s manager, pass on faults in lifts, stairwells, car parks and other shared spaces, and hand every tenant the by-laws covering noise, bins and parking. Your levies, rates and water bills are deducted from rent, and we add no admin surcharge.

Inside the apartment, small faults add up: tapware, exhaust fans, door closers and split-system air conditioners. Our four routine inspections a year, each with photos, let you deal with them before a tenant has to complain.

Kent Town has many state and local heritage-listed places. Where a job could change the outside of a building, check the address on PlanSA under the Planning and Design Code, and anything that may need approval is raised with you before work starts. Our residential property management page has more.

Who Rents in Kent Town

Singles, couples and city workers

Kent Town tenants are mostly working adults without children. At the 2021 Census, couples without children were 63.4% of families, group households were 7.5% of households, and 54.3% of homes had two bedrooms.

Professionals made up 34.8% of employed residents and managers 16.6%. The biggest employers of residents were hospitals, then cafés and restaurants, computer system design and higher education. On Census day 15.7% walked to work, against 2.5% across the state, and 14.1% worked from home. Buses run along Rundle Street, Flinders Street, Dequetteville Terrace and The Parade West.

These tenants pay for convenience. A secure car park, good storage, a quiet bedroom and reliable internet often matter more to them than floor area, and a home that offers them tends to hold its tenants. Rent reaches your account twice weekly.

Our property managers also look after rentals in Norwood, Kensington and Rose Park, where we have leased homes, and in Adelaide, where we have leased many city apartments. Stepney is next door too.

Common Kent Town Property Management FAQs
