One tenant on the lease. You keep the client.
Give us the property that has been advertised for six weeks. Middow signs as the tenant, furnishes it, fills it and absorbs every tenant call, while the owner stays your client and the property stays on your rent roll.
Send us the listing that will not move
The one that has been up for weeks, or the one whose owner is starting to ask questions. Address, rent expectation, photos if you have them.
We sign as the tenant: one lease, one name
No applicant shortlist, no reference checks for you to run, no group of five strangers to approve. Middow is the tenant on the agreement.
Every tenant call comes to us instead of you
Maintenance, cleaning, bills, the 9pm phone call about a blocked drain. Your property manager stops being the switchboard for that address.
The client and the rent roll line stay yours
We are the tenant, not the manager. The owner keeps their relationship with your agency, and you keep managing the lease exactly as you would any other.
What we can actually take
Saying no quickly is more useful to you than a maybe, so here is the honest filter.
A good fit
- Within 5 km of the CBDLocation is what matters most. Close to trams and the city, with good living space, from a one-bedroom apartment to a family home.
- Properties that have satIf it has been advertised for weeks with no application, that is exactly our case.
- Furnished-or-nothing stockWe furnish at our cost, so an unfurnished property is not a problem to solve first.
- Owners who want certaintyThe ones who would rather have a smaller number every month than a bigger number sometimes.
Not for us
- Anything needing significant repair before it could be let.
- Owner-occupied homes with a short window.
If you are not sure which side a property falls on, send it anyway. We would rather look and say no than have you guess.
Why an owner tends to say yes
35+
homes leased and run
Across the inner suburbs since 2023, on exactly this arrangement.
550+
tenants placed
Screened, interviewed and inspected one at a time, not batch-approved.
Every month
rent on the same date
Occupancy sits with us, which is the part an owner is actually buying.
The condition your owner's property comes back in
Homes on our books today. Furnished at our cost, cleaned weekly and photographed every visit, so there is a record instead of an argument.
The questions principals ask
Do we lose the management?
No. We become the tenant on the lease; your agency keeps the owner as a client and keeps managing the tenancy. The property stays on your rent roll.
Who does the owner deal with?
You, exactly as before. We deal with you as your tenant.
Is subletting permitted?
It is written into the head lease up front, with the owner’s knowledge: a standard leasing agreement with permission to sublet.
Who holds the tenants’ bonds?
Every tenant bond is lodged with the RTBA, the Victorian government bond authority.
How is the property kept in condition?
Weekly cleaning, regular inspections, a professional clean every month for some homes, and a noise and humidity monitor to catch problems early.
