Sandton landlord guide

What does property management include?

A clear view of the day-to-day work behind a well-managed rental property — and where Sakstons supports the landlord.

The short answer

Management is the operational layer between the property, tenant and owner.

For Sandton landlords, Sakstons manages the practical work that keeps a tenancy moving: rent and arrears administration, maintenance coordination, inspections, reporting and compliance support. The owner retains control of material property decisions while receiving clearer information to make them.

01

Rent and arrears

Rent collection and arrears management provide a defined process for the monthly financial administration of the tenancy.

02

Tenant placement

Thorough tenant vetting, lease preparation and move-in inspections establish the tenancy on a clear, documented footing.

03

Maintenance and inspections

Maintenance coordination, routine inspections and exit inspections help surface property issues and keep handovers organised.

04

Reporting and compliance

Transparent monthly reporting plus legal and compliance oversight give the owner a clearer operating picture.

What it costs

A fixed fee, not a cut of your rent.

Sakstons charges a fixed R799 + VAT per month per property for full management — rent collection, arrears management, maintenance coordination, inspections, monthly reporting and compliance oversight. Because it is a flat fee rather than a percentage of rent, the cost stays the same whether the rent is R10,000 or R30,000 a month. Tenant placement only (no ongoing management) is billed separately at 8% of the lease value. See the full fee breakdown or contact Sakstons for a quote specific to your property.

A practical handover

What the owner still decides.

Property management does not remove the owner from important decisions. It makes the operating work more structured and keeps the owner informed when a decision is needed.
