With self-management, every decision is yours.

With an agent, maintenance gets approved and rent gets tracked — but through someone else. With Leasily, you see everything directly.

01

You decide when maintenance gets approved.

With Leasily, you see the request, review it, and approve or decline from your own workflow.

02

You talk directly to your tenant.

In-app messaging keeps the conversation in your tenancy record, reducing handoffs and second-hand updates.

03

You see every payment, in real time.

Rent due, rent paid, and rent overdue are visible on your dashboard rather than only in a periodic statement.

04

You set the lease terms, not an agent's template.

Lease details, e-signing, and tenancy records stay documented in your account.

Switch from a percentage fee to a flat one.On the $650/week example, the estimated difference is ~$3,400–$6,600 in year one[?].

How the figures on this page are calculated.

Every $ and % on this page is illustrative — derived from a single worked example, not a survey, average, or promise.

weekly_rent = $650 (illustrative)

annual_rent = 650 × 52 = $33,800

mgmt_low = 33,800 × 7% ≈ $2,366

mgmt_high = 33,800 × 12% ≈ $4,056

fee_stack_total ≈ $3,601–$6,806/yr (mgmt + letting + ads + inspections + renewal + statements)

leasily_total = $240 × tenancies

estimated_saving = fee_stack_total − leasily_total

  • Letting / inspection / renewal / advertising / statement fees: ranges reflect amounts commonly seen on Australian agency fee schedules. Some agencies charge less; some charge more, plus GST and admin loadings.
  • Leasily cost: flat per active tenancy at the published price. No percentage-of-rent component, no per-property fee on top.
