Home / Property management
For landlords
Your rental, managed properly.
Crescent finds the tenant, collects the rent and looks after the property, so you do not have to. One registered agent handles it from first viewing to final inspection.
Two ways to work with Crescent
Tenant placement, or full management.
Choose how much you want to hand over. Either way you deal with Fatima Saley, a PPRA registered Principal Estate Agent, and nobody else.
Tenant placement
Fatima finds and signs the right tenant, then hands the tenancy over to you to run.
- Marketing and viewings
- Credit and reference checks
- Lease and deposit
- Ingoing inspection
Full management
Everything in tenant placement, plus the month-to-month running of your rental.
- Rent collected, with a monthly statement
- Maintenance and repairs arranged
- Late payment followed up and notices issued
- Municipal accounts and levies handled
- Inspections during and at the end of the lease

Landlord questions
Property management, answered.
What does Crescent’s property management include?
Finding and screening tenants, the lease and the deposit, rent collection with a monthly statement, arranging maintenance and repairs, following up late payment and issuing notices, handling municipal accounts and levies, and inspections.
Can Crescent just find me a tenant?
Yes. With tenant placement, Fatima markets the property, screens applicants, signs the lease and handles the deposit and ingoing inspection, then hands the tenancy over to you to run.
What does property management cost?
Fees are agreed in writing before you sign a mandate, so you know the cost upfront. Ask Fatima for a quote for your property.
How are tenants screened?
Every applicant goes through credit and reference checks before a lease is offered.
What happens if a tenant pays late?
Fatima follows up late payment and, where needed, issues the breach or cancellation notices the lease provides for.
How do I work out the return on a rental property?
Take a year’s rent, subtract the yearly costs (levies, rates, maintenance, insurance and any management fee), and divide the result by what the property is worth. The calculator on this page does it for you.
Which areas does Crescent manage property in?
Bergbron, Cresta, Greenside, Norwood, Highlands North and the suburbs around them. If your property is nearby, ask.
Does Crescent manage commercial property?
Yes. Crescent lets and manages commercial premises as well as houses, townhouses and apartments.
