Are you confident your investment property is achieving market rent?
At Verdi Property Management, we provide professional Rent Reviews Geelong landlords can rely on to ensure their investment property remains competitively priced while maximising long-term returns.
The Geelong rental market continues to evolve. Rental demand, vacancy rates, economic conditions and legislative changes all influence what renters are willing to pay. A property that was accurately priced 12 months ago may now be significantly below market value—or potentially overpriced.
Our comprehensive rent review process provides rental providers with accurate, evidence-based recommendations backed by current market data and extensive local knowledge.
Whether you own a single investment property or an extensive portfolio, regular rent reviews are an essential part of protecting your investment and maximising your income.
Many rental providers unintentionally fall behind the market because rent is not reviewed regularly.
Even a small difference in weekly rent can have a significant impact over time.
For example:
Over several years, this can represent thousands of dollars in lost income.
Regular rent reviews help ensure your investment continues to perform at its full potential.

How often should I have a rent review?
We recommend reviewing your property’s rental value at least annually or before offering a new fixed-term rental agreement.
Can I increase the rent every year?
Victorian legislation regulates how often rent may be increased and the notice that must be provided. We can advise on the rules that apply to your tenancy and manage the process for you.
Will a rent increase cause my renter to leave?
Not necessarily.
A fair increase supported by current market evidence is often accepted by quality renters. We also consider the value of retaining reliable tenants when making recommendations.
Can you complete a rent review if another agency manages my property?
Yes.
We can provide an independent rental assessment and explain how your current rent compares with the local market.
