Why Perth Landlords Should Consider Switching Property Managers When a Rent Roll Is Sold

When a real estate agency sells its rent roll, hundreds of Perth landlords are suddenly transferred to a new property management company — often without warning and without any say in the matter. Many investors assume they must accept the new agency and sign a fresh Management Authority.

But here’s the truth:

You are not obligated to sign a new management agreement with the agency that purchased the rent roll.

You are completely free to choose who manages your investment property.

At Box Property Management (BOXPM), we specialise in helping landlords transition smoothly during rent roll sales, ensuring they maintain control, save on fees, and experience better service from day one.

You Have the Legal Right to Choose Your Property Manager

A rent roll sale transfers files — not your personal commitment to the outgoing agency. Your Management Authority is a contract between you and the original agency you selected.

If that agency has sold their rent roll:

• You are not required to accept the new agency.

• You are not obligated to sign their updated agreement.

• You are free to appoint a different property manager at any time.

• You only need to provide written notice — and we can do this for you.

A rent roll sale does not override your rights as a property owner. Your investment, your choice.

Why Switching During a Rent Roll Sale Makes Sense

The transition period that follows a rent roll sale is often when service levels decline and important details get missed. New agencies are busy onboarding hundreds of landlords at once, and your investment becomes just another account in the pile.

Landlords commonly experience:

• High staff turnover and loss of their existing property manager

• Reduced communication

• Missed or delayed routine inspections

• Slower maintenance responses

• Unexpected fee increases

• Generic, high-volume service

This is why many Perth investors use the transition period as an opportunity to move to a dedicated, boutique property management agency that can provide better attention and stability.
