Signs It’s Time
You Shouldn’t Have To Manage Your Manager
One of these is a bad week. Three of them is a pattern.
You do the chasing
Calls go to voicemail, emails wait days, and you hear about problems from the tenant first.
Inspections you never see
No report, no photos, or a report that says “fine” about a property you know isn’t.
Arrears that drift
The rent is a week behind, then three, and nobody has told you what is being done about it.
Repairs that stall
A small job sits for weeks and becomes a big one, or the quote arrives with no explanation.
Charges you didn’t expect
Your statement has fees on it you don’t remember agreeing to, for things you assumed were included.
A rent nobody checks
No one has compared your rent with the market since the tenant moved in.
Mid-Lease
The Lease Doesn’t Change Hands. The Keys Do.
The most common reason landlords put up with a poor property manager is the belief that they have to wait for the lease to end. You don’t. The lease is between you and your tenant. The agency acts for you, and you can change who acts for you.
When you switch, the lease carries on with the same rent, terms and end date, and the bond stays lodged with CBS. The tenant gets a letter telling them who manages the property now and where to pay the rent. For a good tenant, it’s a non-event.
What Stays The Same
Your tenant. The lease, its rent and its end date. The bond, held by CBS. Your ownership, insurance and loan.
What Changes
Who answers the phone. Where the tenant pays the rent. Who inspects, and the reports you get. How often you’re paid: twice a week, with us.
The Handover
How Switching To Axiom Works
You make one decision and send one letter. We do the rest of the running.
- 01Check your agreement
Find the notice period and any cost of ending it. They vary between agencies; ask us to read it with you if the wording is unclear.
- 02Give notice
Write to your current agency, ending the agreement under its terms and asking them to hand over to Axiom. You sign our agreement.
- 03We collect the records
Keys, the lease, the rent ledger, bond details, condition and inspection reports, and the maintenance history.
- 04We tell the tenant
A letter introducing us, with how to reach us and where to pay the rent from the handover date.
- 05We take over
Rent paid out twice a week, routine inspections with photo reports, and your rates, water and strata paid for you.
100 Days Risk-Free
Switch With Nothing To Lose
Moving agencies is a leap of faith, and we know a lot of landlords have been burned before. So new landlords get 100 days to see how we work. If we’re not right for you, leave with six weeks’ notice, no questions asked.
There’s no lock-in, and our management fee has no admin, inspection or statement fees added to it. Everything we charge is quoted in writing before you sign.

Switching Questions
Changing Property Managers: FAQs
Can I change property managers in the middle of a lease?
Yes. The lease is between you and your tenant; the agency only acts for you. Changing agencies doesn’t end or change the lease. The tenant carries on under the same terms until it ends, and pays the rent to the new manager from the handover date.
Do I have to tell my current property manager?
Yes. You end your management agreement by giving notice in writing, as the agreement sets out. Your notice should also ask them to hand the keys and records over to your new agency. We can’t take over until that agreement has ended.
What happens to my tenant?
Very little. They keep living there under the same lease. They get a letter telling them who manages the property now, how to reach us and where to pay the rent. They don’t sign anything new.
What happens to the bond?
It stays where it is, lodged with CBS. The money doesn’t move; the record is updated to show who is acting for you, and the bond is dealt with as normal when the tenancy ends.
Will switching cost me anything?
That depends on your current agreement: some agreements carry a charge for ending early or handing over, so read yours before you give notice. Our own fees are quoted in writing before you sign, and the leasing costs only arise when a new lease or a renewal is signed.
How long does a switch take?
Mostly as long as the notice period in your current agreement, which varies between agencies. While that runs, we request the records so we are ready to take over on the day it ends.
What if the property is empty at the moment?
Then there is no tenancy to hand over, and the switch is simpler. Once your agreement ends we start with a free rental appraisal and get it leased. See how we lease.
