V vdm 5th Sep, 2013 #1 Is it the "norm" for the PM to charge their management fees on the first week's rent which they keep anyway for the new lets? Therefore, the tenant paid $400 but I am out of pocket by $473 ($400 plus gst plus management fees), it just doesn't sound fair! tks

Ace in the Hole 5th Sep, 2013 #2 As far as I know, 1 weeks rent is the letting fee, the fee you pay them to find a tenant. Management fees are totally separate and will start from day 1 of the tenant moving in. Is the $73 management fee for 1 week, or 1 month?

Yes, perfectly normal as and per the agency agreement you have with them. vdm said: Therefore, the tenant paid $400 but I am out of pocket by $473 ($400 plus gst plus management fees), it just doesn't sound fair! Click to expand... I'm tempted to say that 'life isn't fair' but don't get too hurt by it, you haven't been shafted by the tenant yet! Now that won't be fair either!

Scott No Mates 5th Sep, 2013 #5 Sounds more like it could be $400 + gst letting fee and $30 + gst mgmnt. (7.5% + gst)
M marg4000 5th Sep, 2013 #6 All fees should be detailed in the agreement you sign with the PM company. Marg

A Ausprop 5th Sep, 2013 #9 the govt does it all the time with tax on tax. If you are being ripped and you have to foot the bill is it the right investment class?

Damien Cox 6th Sep, 2013 #10 Yes, it is standard practice to charge the property management fee from the date the lease commences.

R russellpeter 6th Sep, 2013 #11 yes let fee in normally one weeks rent + GST when the tenant moves in they have to pay 4 weeks bond and the first 2 weeks rent. bond goes to the RTA first 2 weeks covers the let fee + management fees on the first 2 weeks of rent. Its standard then you will also be hit with $5 postage for the email statement.
