Turn Your Airbnb Into a Long-Term Rental: Maximise Returns with Ease
Short-term rentals like Airbnb have been popular for years, offering flexibility and high nightly rates. But they also come with unpredictable occupancy, constant maintenance, and increasing regulatory requirements. If you’re an Airbnb host in Western Australia, now is the perfect time to consider switching to a long-term residential rental — and we can make the transition seamless.
1. Benefit from Guaranteed, Consistent Income
Unlike short-term rentals, long-term leases provide steady, predictable rental income. No more worrying about seasonal fluctuations, last-minute cancellations, or empty nights.
Even better, the WA Government’s Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) Incentive Scheme currently offers $10,000 for eligible property owners who transition their property to a long-term rental. Applications for this third phase of the scheme are open until midnight 31 December 2025, or until funds run out. (Source: Short-Term Rental Accommodation Incentive Scheme)
2. Reduce Stress and Maintenance
Airbnb rentals often demand constant cleaning, guest communication, and repairs. Long-term tenants take care of day-to-day wear and tear. As your professional property managers, we handle all tenant-related issues — from routine maintenance to urgent repairs — saving you time and stress.
3. Comply Easily with Regulations
Short-term rental regulations in WA are becoming stricter. By switching to long-term tenancy, you reduce regulatory risk. Our team ensures your property meets all Residential Tenancy laws, including safety requirements like smoke alarms and window coverings, keeping you compliant and protected.
4. Attract Quality Tenants Quickly
We leverage our extensive network and marketing tools to fill your property with reliable tenants efficiently. Our professional screening process ensures tenants are verified, financially stable, and committed to long-term stays, reducing vacancy rates and avoiding troublesome tenants.
5. Maximise Returns with Minimal Hassle
With our full-service management, we handle everything:
-
Advertising and listing your property
-
Screening and selecting tenants
-
Collecting rent and handling financial reporting
-
Coordinating maintenance and repairs
-
Ensuring compliance with WA rental laws
All while keeping your property well-maintained and generating consistent income.
Why Now is the Time to Switch
The WA Government’s STRA Incentive Scheme rewards property owners who convert their Airbnb properties to long-term rentals with up to $10,000, split across two stages:
-
$4,000 upon approval of your application
-
$6,000 after the 12-month tenancy is fulfilled
To qualify, the property must transition to a long-term tenancy by 31 December 2025, and tenancies must be at least 12 months in duration. (Source: Short-Term Rental Accommodation Incentive Scheme)
Beyond financial incentives, moving to long-term tenancy offers peace of mind, consistent income, and reduced operational stress.

FAQ: Why All-Inclusive Property Management Fees Are Better for Landlords
At Box Property Management (BOXPM), we believe landlords should keep more of what they earn. That’s why we offer a low, all-inclusive property management fee—a fair, transparent model that puts your investment’s long-term success first.
Q: What’s the problem with traditional property management fee structures?
Traditional percentage-based models often include extra charges for letting, re-leasing, marketing, and other tenancy changeover services. While this may seem standard, it can create a hidden problem: property managers are financially rewarded every time a tenant moves out. The more often they turn over tenants, the more they can bill you in additional fees.
This can unintentionally incentivise short-term thinking instead of focusing on long-term tenant retention and stable rental income.
Q: How is BOXPM’s all-inclusive fee different?
Our all-inclusive property management fees mean one fixed, transparent cost that covers everything—leasing, inspections, lease renewals, tenant management, and more. Whether your tenant stays for 6 months or 6 years, you pay the same simple fee.
This removes any financial incentive for us to “churn” tenants. Instead, our success is tied directly to keeping your property tenanted with reliable, long-term renters—which also means less downtime, lower marketing expenses, and more consistent returns for you.
Q: How does this benefit me as a landlord?
With our all-inclusive model, you benefit from:
-
Stable Income – Fewer vacancy periods mean steady rental payments.
-
Lower Costs – No surprise charges for re-letting, advertising, or lease renewals.
-
Better Tenants – Focus on attracting and retaining high-quality, long-term renters.
-
Less Stress – Fewer tenant changes mean fewer disruptions and maintenance costs.
Q: Does a low all-inclusive fee mean lower service quality?
Not at all. In fact, we can offer a low, all-inclusive fee precisely because BOXPM is a specialist property management agency. We don’t have the sales departments, flashy marketing budgets, or franchise fees that drive up costs for traditional agencies. Every resource we have is invested into managing your property well—not selling houses.
Q: What’s the bottom line for my investment?
With BOXPM, your management costs are predictable, your property is actively cared for, and your returns are maximised. By removing the incentives for unnecessary tenant turnover, we keep our focus on what really matters: your property’s long-term performance and your peace of mind.
The Truth About Property Management Fees: What Every Perth Investor Should Know
💰 Overview: What Perth Landlords Typically Pay
-
Ongoing management fee: in Perth’s metro area, most agencies charge approximately 8%–9.5% of gross weekly rent
-
Broader data shows typical ranges stretching from 8% to 11%, even up to 12% in some cases
-
National comparisons confirm Perth’s average sits about 1.2% above the national average due to higher operating costs and salarie
🏁 Initial and Additional Fees to Expect
Property management fees go beyond just percentages:
-
Letting (leasing) fee: typically 2–3 weeks' rent, sometimes up to 4 weeks in regional WA
-
Advertising or marketing: expect AUD 100–300, or up to $200–500 for comprehensive campaign packages
-
Property Condition Report (PCR): usually $150–300, occasionally up to $500, depending on property size and detail level
-
Routine inspection fees: roughly $55–99 per inspection, or monthly admin of $7–$15
-
Lease renewal or final inspection fees: some agencies charge a week's rent or fixed amounts per renewal or exit inspection
🌍 Why Are Perth Fees Higher Than Elsewhere?
-
Higher business and wage costs compared to eastern states
-
Lower competition among agencies in some suburbs, giving less incentive to reduce rates
-
Complex regulatory compliance under WA’s Residential Tenancy Act 1987 adds administrative overhead
✅ Tips to Get Best Value on Fees
-
Collect multiple quotes from Perth agencies to compare fee structures and service depth
-
Clarify inclusions: are inspections, admin tasks, lease renewals or maintenance visits bundled or extra‑charged?
-
Ask about discounts: investors with multiple properties can often negotiate lower rates
-
Understand service vs. price: cheaper isn’t always better—look for agencies with lower case loads per manager, strong tenant screening, and reliable maintenance handling
-
Negotiate GST inclusions: some agencies quote ex‑GST; ensure you compare like‑for‑like
🧾 Final Thoughts
In Perth, budget for:
-
Ongoing management: around 8%–9.5% of rent
-
Letting fees: approx. 2–3 weeks’ rent per new tenancy
-
Extras: PCRs, inspections, marketing, admin – adding up to hundreds extra
While Perth sits a little higher than the national norm (usually around 1‑2 percentage points more), the added cost can be justified by quality service, tenant retention, and regulatory compliance. Lower‑cost providers can be tempting—but ensure you're not sacrificing property care or legal safety for savings.
