We have just settled on our 6th IP and have a new PM due to the location (QLD Sunshine Coast). The house already has 2 young ladies as tenants who were on a periodic lease (monthly) after the seller put the house up for sale. This shall now revert to 6 month lease with these same 2 persons.
Question - should the new PM expect a letting fee considering no advertising was required? They merely had to collect the paperwork from the existing PM (who we decided not to proceed with).
The let fee is generally one week's rent and the new PM has suggested 50% of this let fee, but in fact are flexible since they want this to be a long term relationship. All the other credentials of this new PM appear in order.
