Most Brisbane property managers charge a percentage of your weekly rent. That sounds simple until you realise what it actually costs.
Between management fees, letting fees, marketing and renewal charges, landlords typically hand over 7% to 12% of rental income just to keep a tenancy running and compliant with Queensland legislation. The real problem isn’t the percentage itself. It’s that your costs shift every time the rent does. Allowing extra line items to stack up in ways that are hard to track across a financial year.
Arvarni strips that back to a single, all-inclusive fee:
One fee covers everything.
You know exactly what property management costs before rent hits your account, and that number doesn’t change when your rent does.
SINGLE PROPERTY
9.9%
inc. GST — all-inclusive, no add-ons
One property? You pay 9.9% of the weekly rent. That covers everything: finding tenants, advertising, lease renewals, inspections, all of it. No extra charges.
PORTFOLIO RATE
7.7%
inc. GST — for 2+ properties with Arvarni
More than one property? The rate drops to 7.7%. Same deal, lower price because you’re bringing more to the table.
Property management fees are ongoing charges paid by landlords to cover the end-to-end administration of a rental property.
By delegating these daily operational tasks, owners ensure their asset remains fully compliant with tenancy laws, while minimising vacancies and protecting their long-term investment yield.
Traditional agencies break down their charges into several itemised fees.
When combined, these individual charges typically push the total effective cost to 10–12% of a property’s annual rental income.
Most Brisbane property management companies charge 5–8 separate fees on top of their base rate, causing costs to quickly escalate.
While the average Brisbane landlord pays an effective rate of 10–12% due to extra add-ons, finding a dedicated property manager in Brisbane with transparent pricing ensures predictable cash flow.
Here’s what the difference looks like side by side:
