Recent updates to WA tenancy laws introduce several important reforms designed to create a fairer and more transparent rental system. These changes impact how rent increases are managed, tenant rights around pets and minor modifications, and the overall renting process.
Perth remains one of Australia’s most attractive markets for property investors in 2026, supported by strong rental demand, population growth and comparatively affordable property prices.
As we reach the midpoint of the 2025–26 financial year, we’re taking the opportunity to share a snapshot of how the Perth rental market has performed and how Blackburne Property Management (Blackburne) has supported property owners across the first six months of FY26.
The rental landscape in Western Australia has shifted. A series of reforms to the Residential Tenancies Act WA have come into effect—bringing with them new responsibilities and risks for landlords.
Earlier this month, Blackburne Property Management was named Australia’s Best Residential Property Management Team at the REIA Awards – a national recognition of their standout service, market expertise, and consistently strong performance for landlords and tenants across Perth.
We are proud to announce that Blackburne Property Management has been awarded Residential Property Management Team of the Year at the 2025 Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) National Awards for Excellence.
There is never really a typical day for a Property Manager, every day looks different and the skill set we hold ranges from Lawyer to Psychologist with Handyman, Marketing Manager, and Financial Advisor in between.
