Your rental, looked after like it's our own
We manage a deliberately small number of homes, so each one gets proper attention: the right tenant, rent on time, and a property that's in better shape when they leave than when they arrived.
One person, start to finish
- Signs up your tenant
- Inspects the home
- Takes the tenant's calls
- Reviews the rent with you
Why us
Most rentals are managed by someone looking after two or three hundred properties. Ours aren't.
We've kept our rent roll small so the person who signs up your tenant is the same person who inspects the home, answers the tenant's call about the hot water and talks to you about the rent review.
It's the same approach Monique Field Property is known for in sales: honest advice, quick replies and nothing left to chance. You'll always know who is looking after your home, and you'll hear from us before you need to ask.
What's included
Everything a landlord needs, done properly
From the first open inspection to the final bond claim, it's one team, and nothing is left for you to chase.
Leasing
Professional photos, a listing written for the right tenant, open inspections at times that suit renters, and every application checked: identity, income, rental history and references. You choose from a shortlist with our recommendation.
The paperwork
The NSW standard residential tenancy agreement, a detailed condition report with dated photos, and the bond lodged with NSW Fair Trading through Rental Bonds Online.
Rent
Rent paid into our trust account by a free electronic method, arrears followed up the day they happen, and a monthly statement plus an end-of-financial-year summary for your accountant.
Inspections
Routine inspections with the notice the law requires, written up with photos so you can see the home's condition without leaving your desk.
Repairs and maintenance
Repairs handled through local tradespeople we trust, urgent repairs dealt with immediately, and your approval sought before anything over the limit you set.
Compliance
Smoke alarms, minimum standards and the 2025 tenancy reforms: we keep your property and your lease on the right side of NSW law, and keep the records to prove it.
Rent reviews
An annual look at the market with a recommendation, and the 60 days' written notice NSW requires before any increase.
Moving out
The final inspection against the original condition report, the bond claim if one is needed, and the home re-let with as little vacancy as possible.
The rules
NSW tenancy law changed in 2025. We keep up so you don't have to.
The reforms that started on 19 May 2025 changed how a tenancy ends, how often rent can rise, and how pets and payments are handled. The four that matter most to a landlord:
A reason to end a tenancy
A landlord needs a valid reason, and evidence for it: selling with vacant possession, significant renovations, the owner or a family member moving in, or a tenant's breach. Notice periods are longer than they used to be.
Rent up once a year
Rent can go up at most once in any 12-month period, with at least 60 days' written notice.
Pets on a standard form
A request can only be refused on set grounds, and one that isn't answered within 21 days is treated as approved.
Free to apply, free to pay
Renters must be offered a free way to pay rent, and can't be charged for background checks when they apply.
None of this makes renting out a property harder if it's managed well. It does mean the details matter, from how a lease is ended to how a pet request is answered, and that's our job.
A summary only, not legal advice. NSW Fair Trading publishes the full rules for landlords and agents.

What our clients say about how we work
From our very first meeting with Monique we knew that we had found the right agent to assist us with the sale of our home. Being very tuned into a shifting market, she was always available to discuss any concerns we had and advise us on the best strategy to achieve the best outcome. With her easy manner and great communication, Monique made what is usually a highly stressful process feel completely seamless and straightforward. We couldn't be happier with how fast and smooth the entire process was. Not only is she professional and highly knowledgeable, she is a genuinely lovely person and we couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Monique and Phoenix for doing such a spectacular job

We want to extend a huge thank you to Monique, her associate Pheonix and all of her team for assisting with our recent property sale. Monique’s professionalism, work ethic and communication is amazing. I have also been impressed by not only her dedication to us as the vendors, but her constant support to our purchasers throughout the process, a level of service that I’ve never before witnessed during the many times that I’ve bought and sold property over the years. We could not recommend Monique Field Property more highly.

Questions
What landlords ask us
How much rent will my property get?
It depends on the home, its condition and what's leasing nearby right now. A rental appraisal gives you a weekly figure based on comparable homes that have recently leased, and what we'd do to achieve it. It's free and there's no obligation.
What does property management cost?
Our fees depend on the property and the services you want, and we'll set them out in writing with the rental appraisal so you can compare them properly. There are no hidden costs: every charge is in the management agreement you sign.
How do you choose a tenant?
We check every application against identity, income, rental history and references, and a tenancy database. You see the shortlist with our recommendation and make the final decision.
How often will the property be inspected?
We carry out routine inspections during the tenancy, with written notice to the tenant as the law requires. NSW allows up to four routine inspections in any 12 months. You get a written report with photos after each one.
Can I switch to you if my property is already tenanted?
Yes. The tenant stays, the lease stays, and we handle the handover with your current agent. It usually takes a few weeks from the day you tell us to go ahead. See our page on switching.
Do I need landlord insurance?
It isn't compulsory, but we recommend it. Building and contents cover usually excludes loss of rent and tenant damage, which is what landlord insurance is for. We can point you to what to look for in a policy.
What would your property rent for?
Tell us about the home and we'll come back with a weekly rent range, what's leasing nearby, and how we'd manage it.
