The real property management solution that works for you

Buy-to-let investing is a great way to build wealth, but every landlord knows it comes with its fair share of headaches. From late payments to burst geysers to the scramble of finding a new tenant, things can get overwhelming fast. For South African landlords, Jawitz Properties’ rental services are designed to handle all of these scenarios and many more. Whether you want a full end-to-end solution or assistance with specific aspects of rental asset management, we’re here to help.

Market-related valuations based on comparative market analysis

The first step in renting out your property is establishing the correct price. This involves much more than simply comparing your property to others for rent in the area. Jawitz Properties’ comparative market analysis takes various factors into consideration, including data on your neighbourhood, the condition of your property and the size, age and style of the home. With tenants increasingly price-savvy, an accurately priced property ensures maximum visibility and occupancy.

Marketing the property and screening tenants

Advertising a property online is straightforward but advertising effectively requires real strategy. Jawitz Properties syndicates listings across multiple platforms and property portals to reach the right audience.

Finding a reliable quality tenant is equally crucial.  Our rental team has a thorough tenant screening process that examines a prospective tenant’s financial stability, rental history and general reliability. These checks are carried out in line with the requirements of legislation like the Rental Housing Act and the Protection of Personal Information Act to ensure that everybody is protected.

Tenant screening does more than help landlords find dependable tenants. It also helps to create longstanding positive relationships between landlords and tenants.

Protecting your asset

Current rental legislation largely favours tenants. Therefore, the best way for an investor to protect their assets is by ensuring that a comprehensive, well-drafted lease agreement is in place — one that provides the landlord with all available legal protection.

Rental asset management

From invoicing rental to collections and disbursements along with assisting with all the necessary maintenance and repair work, Jawitz Properties has a team of competent and dedicated administrators and contractors to manage the process from start to finish.

Our solutions harness technology to simplify rent collection, issuing of receipts and tracking transaction history and following up on payments, which means less tax-related admin for landlords.

Handling maintenance and repairs

Unexpected issues can arise at the most inconvenient times - whether it’s a burst geyser, a leaking tap, or a blocked drain. Our maintenance system allows tenants to report problems immediately, initiating a streamlined tracking and repair process. We have a dedicated team of contractors on standby to handle both general maintenance and urgent repairs efficiently.

Managing disputes and evictions when necessary

If any issues arise during a tenant’s stay, Jawitz Properties has the expertise to assist with dispute resolution. In the event of an eviction, we follow the proper legal process through to lease cancellation, ensuring your rights are fully protected and maximising the chances of a successful outcome.

In short, the Jawitz Properties rental services division covers every aspect of long-term property rentals. If you’d like to get maximum return on your investment with minimum hassle, get in touch today.
