INCH Housing Inc. is seeking rental properties from a variety of sources, including private owners, real estate agents, and superannuation funds in Brisbane's Northern Suburbs. By leasing your property to INCH, you contribute to a community-focused initiative that supports low-income tenants and promotes sustainable housing solutions.
Why lease with us?
Here at INCH, we provide property owners with a seamless and secure leasing solution, ensuring long-term stability, hassle-free management, and a range of protections. By partnering with INCH, property owners can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with guaranteed rent payments, routine property upkeep, and long-term leases, all while supporting the community housing sector. INCH handles all the details from handling sub-tenants and maintenance to providing legal protections under relevant housing laws, allowing you to focus on other priorities.
Benefits to Property Owners
No Management or Lease Fees: With INCH managing the sub-tenants, property owners are free from the costs associated with management and lease renewals, making it a cost-effective solution. *
Guaranteed Rent: Rent is paid monthly in advance, providing financial security even if a property is vacant, ensuring consistent cash flow.
Secure Lease Terms: The fixed-term head lease agreements are fully governed by the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008, ensuring clear and fair terms for both parties.
Enhanced Legal Protection: Leasing through INCH offers the same protections as private rentals, with the added benefit of safeguards under Chapter 13A of the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act, giving property owners extra security.
Long-term Leases: INCH offers head leases with long-term stability, typically ranging from 6 to 10 years, with some leases extending beyond 15 years, reducing the uncertainty often associated with shorter agreements.
Routine Inspections: Property upkeep is a priority, with routine inspections conducted every 3-6 months to ensure the property is well-maintained and any issues are addressed promptly.
Owner Inspections: Property owners or agents can schedule inspections every 6 months or annually, ensuring transparency and peace of mind regarding the condition of the property.
Annual Condition Reports: INCH provides detailed reports on the property’s condition, including any required maintenance for building, fittings, and fixtures, helping owners manage their investment more effectively.
Lifecycle Management: INCH oversees the entire lifecycle of the property, including repairs, maintenance, and future planning, all at no service fee to the property owner.
