What is management rights?
Around fifty years ago, the first management rights (MR) business emerged on the Gold Coast in QLD Australia. Since then, it’s become extremely popular, as it offers the owners of strata buildings (properties that are adjoined, such as apartments or townhouses) great benefits and services.
There are three components to management rights: a manager’s unit, a caretaking agreement and a letting agreement.The onsite manager is also called the resident letting agent and usually owns and lives in the manager’s unit, getting paid a salary to maintain the complex, as well as paid commission to rent out the units. Because they’re not only part owners of the building, but also live and work on the property, the manager is motivated to provide top-notch, value-added services to the body corporate (the collective body of owners within the complex, building owners, residents and guests).
From a business point of view, management rights has a built-in niche, because all the services are located in the one building.
