Tenant Selection & Rental Management in Mackay
The right tenant protects your investment. Our rigorous selection process and ongoing rental management keep your Mackay property occupied, cared for and paying its way.
Tenant Selection in Mackay – How A&P Realty Helps
A good tenant pays on time, looks after your property and stays for the long term. Finding that tenant takes more than a quick application form – it takes a proven process and an experienced eye.
A&P Realty's tenant selection and rental management service is designed for Mackay landlords who want their property leased quickly, but never at the expense of quality.

What's Included in Our Mackay Tenant Selection Service
Wide-reaching marketing
Listings on the major rental portals and social media to attract a strong pool of applicants.
100-point identity checks
Every adult applicant is verified before an application is processed.
Rental history & references
We contact previous agents and employers and check national tenancy databases.
Affordability assessment
Income is assessed against the rent to reduce the risk of arrears.
Lease preparation
RTA-compliant tenancy agreements, bond lodgement and entry condition reports.
Lease renewals & rent reviews
We review the market before each renewal so your rent keeps pace.

How We Screen Tenants in Mackay
Every application is assessed against the same checklist: verified identity, proof of income showing the rent is affordable, employment confirmation, references from previous agents or landlords, and a search of national tenancy databases. We also look at how applicants presented at the inspection and how promptly they supplied documents – small signals that predict a reliable tenancy.
Our aim is a tenant who pays on time, communicates well and treats your property as their home. Reducing turnover saves you letting fees, vacancy and wear and tear.
Queensland Tenancy Law, Handled for You
Queensland's Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act sets strict rules on bonds, entry notices, rent increases, minimum housing standards and ending a tenancy. Getting a notice wrong can delay a process by weeks.
Our team keeps up to date with RTA requirements so every lease, notice and bond lodgement for your Mackay property is compliant from day one.

Tenant Selection in Mackay – Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get to approve the tenant?
Always. We present you with a summary of the best-qualified applicants and our recommendation, but the final decision is yours.
What checks do you do on tenants?
Identity, income, employment, rental history, previous agent references and national tenancy database searches.
What happens if a tenant stops paying rent?
Our arrears process starts the day rent falls behind, with reminders, notices and, if necessary, action through the RTA and QCAT.
Can you manage a property I have already tenanted?
Yes – we can take over management of an existing tenancy and handle the paperwork for you.
