Rent arrears will never be an issue when you engage Highland to manage your property. We monitor arrears daily and our sophisticated platforms alert us if rent is not paid on time. In accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act, swift action is taken on tenants falling behind on rent, that's why we have less than 2% rental arrears across our rental portfolio. To keep your investment property running smoothly, contact 02 9523 4333 today.

Anything of extreme value should be safeguarded. That's why we highly recommend landlord insurance to protect this asset. This shields you from tenants being in arrears, damages to your property (beyond the amount secured by the bond), an injury sustained on your property, and your contents (in the event of an accident). For further details on the benefits of landlord insurance, contact Cover Guard Insurance, our trusted team of insurance specialists, on 1300 038 210 today.
