What is a Resident Letting Agent?

A Resident Letting Agent rents out and manages units within a building complex on behalf of the building’s body corporate or owners.  They are responsible for collecting rents and handling all maintenance and management enquiries and issues for the building.

A Resident Letting Agent may live on site at the complex or simply work on site. Many people become Resident Letting Agents as they enjoy the lifestyle and location that many unit complexes offer.
