Arrears monitouring

Effective arrears management is essential to protecting property rental income and maintaining the financial performance of an investment property.  

At Bulbel Property Management, we provide proactive arrears monitoring services designed to identify issues early, maintain clear communication with tenants, and ensure all actions are completed in accordance with current legislation.  

Our structured approach helps minimise rental loss while supporting property managers through every stage of the arrears process.  

Daily Arrears Monitoring  

We conduct regular reviews of rental ledgers to promptly identify overdue payments and ensure arrears are addressed before they escalate.  

Our monitoring process includes:  

- Daily or scheduled rent ledger reviews  

- Identification and tracking of overdue accounts  

- Accurate record keeping and documentation  

- Monitoring payment plans and tenant commitments  

- Reporting outstanding balances to property managers  

- Escalating high-risk arrears matters as required  

Tenant Communication  

Early intervention is critical to successful arrears management.  

We communicate with tenants through their preferred contact method to understand the reason for non-payment and work towards a prompt resolution.  

This may include:  

- Courtesy reminders via phone, SMS, or email  

- Follow-up communication regarding missed payments  

- Negotiating suitable payment arrangements where appropriate  

- Confirming payment commitments in writing  

- Maintaining detailed communication records  

Our professional and respectful approach aims to preserve positive tenant relationships while ensuring landlords' interests remain protected.  

Legislative Compliance  

Arrears management must be handled carefully and in accordance with the relevant tenancy legislation.  

We assist property managers by ensuring all required notices are prepared, issued, and documented within the prescribed legislative timeframes.  

This includes:  

- Monitoring eligibility for formal arrears action; a common error is allowing 14 clear days on the termination notice by double-checking these dates are indeed correct. This prevents any issues with further NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal action should this be required.  

- Preparing and issuing breach notices where applicable  

- Preparing and serving Notices of Termination for rent arrears  

- Coordinating supporting documentation and evidence  

- Maintaining detailed records of all correspondence and actions taken  

- Monitoring notice expiry dates and critical milestones  

Tribunal Preparation and Support  

Where arrears remain unresolved following the expiry of relevant notices, we can assist with the preparation of documentation for tribunal proceedings.  

Our support includes:  

- Compiling rent ledgers and payment histories  

- Preparing communication records and supporting evidence  

- Organising copies of notices and service records  

- Coordinating application documentation  

- Attending tribunal hearings where required  

Reporting and Transparency  

We provide regular updates throughout the arrears process to ensure property managers and landlords remain informed at every stage.  

Our reporting includes:  

- Current arrears status  

- Tenant communication summaries  

- Notice issue and expiry dates  

- Payment arrangement updates  

- Recommendations for next steps
