Article Reading with Samantha Eason: 

An Australian proptech company has been revealed as facing serious challenges and has gone into voluntary administration.

In an Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) notice published 29 June 2023, it was revealed that administrators from KPMG had been appointed to Different Technologies Pty Ltd., better known as :Different, under section 436A of the Corporations Act 2001.

That section spells out that a company may appoint an administrator/s if the board “thinks it is or will become insolvent.”

Besides not leasing quickly if your property is overpriced, there are no guarantees that it will lease for what it should, if you price it appropriately from the beginning.

It is imperative that you reconcile what your home means to you and what you envision it to be with the reality of the current housing market.

Read the outrageous email a real estate agent accidentally sent a tenant instead of landlord - and the ridiculous reason they wanted to nearly DOUBLE the rent!
'You'll recall the discussions I had with you earlier in the year about the 'high maintenance' nature of this particular tenant,' the real estate agent wrote.

'Out of all the properties I manage he has the most maintenance requests and occupies of the most of my (and therefore your) time. On one occasion (the aircon) he called every day for two weeks. The receptions are sick of him.'

'In order to play this smooth you should offer to renew the lease but with an exorbitant increase.'

Real Estate Agents who do this need to be removed from the industry, they have no idea the impact they have on the overall market, and how disheartening and dishonest their actions are.

In some cases, Eason says, delays in repairs stem from the property manager's lack of training, like knowing whether it's more economical to order a repair or replacement of an appliance the moment a request is lodged.

"If a dishwasher is older than eight years, I recommend straight away to replace it … if it's a four-year-old dishwasher, you send a trade," she says. Being able to communicate clearly with the owner about the best course of action speeds up the process, she says, because it cuts out unnecessary visits from tradespeople.

"You cannot tell me that someone who is 18 years old, who has just got their [real estate agent] certificate, has any understanding of how the oven, fans, fireplaces, pools, anything works … unless they've got hands-on experience."

She believes this is becoming a bigger problem as experienced agents abandon the industry in droves. Research conducted by tech company MRI Software last year found almost a quarter of property managers planned to leave the industry, with 60 per cent citing aggressive or abusive landlords or tenants as the biggest challenges.

Rent bidding with Exclusively Managed is a no go zone.

A rental property must be advertised at a fixed price - failing to do so is an offence. The property manager/owner does not have to display the price on a ‘for rent’ sign at the property, but any other advertisement must include a fixed price. 

A property manager/owner must also not: 

• advertise a property with a rent range (e.g. between $500-$600 a week) 
• put a property up for rent auction 
• proactively tell rental applicants to offer over the advertised rental price and encourage them to outbid each other.  

A prospective tenant can proactively offer more than the advertised rental amount and the property manager/owner may accept their offer.  

A prospective tenant can also offer to pay rent in advance and the property manager/owner can accept this. The maximum rent in advance a property manager/owner can ask for from a tenant is two weeks for a periodic agreement, or one month for a fixed-term agreement.
