The rental relationship

As a Glasshouse Tenant you are assigned a Property Manager that cares about you and your home.

We’ve all been tenants ourselves, so we know that while you’re living in someone else’s house, it is very much your home and we want you to feel comfortable there.

Our team is committed to meeting the needs of both you and your landlord, and creating positive rental experiences for you both. You are our clients too, and we value careful, considerate tenants who look after their homes and make it easy for us to carry out our job.

It’s about seeing things from all perspectives

The rental relationship is not unlike any other in the need for good communication, mutual respect and appreciation. At Glasshouse, we believe that if expectations are communicated from the get-go, positive rental experiences are more likely.

Our team ‘on-board’ both our tenants and landlords to ensure mutually beneficial relationships that last. If all parties understand what’s important to the other, better outcomes are achieved for all.

We’re delighted when previous tenants of Glasshouse go on to become investors of their own, and choose us to manage their properties. It’s because of the positive rental experiences they’ve had with us as tenants that they choose to continue that relationship with us as Landlords.
