The guaranteed minimum rent is a fixed annual rental income agreed upon in the contract, ensuring that landlords receive a stable income regardless of market fluctuations.

At the end of the year, if the total rental income falls below the guaranteed minimum rent, the landlord will receive the difference to meet the guaranteed amount.

The GMR agreement is based on a one-year contract.

If the rental income exceeds the guaranteed amount, 25% + GST of the total income will be charged as a management fee.

Example Calculation: Guaranteed rent: $20,000/year Scenario 1: Annual income = $24,000 $24,000 × 27.5% = $6,600 (management fee) $24,000 - $6,600 = $17,400 Since $17,400 is below the guaranteed rent, the landlord still receives $20,000. Scenario 2: Annual income = $30,000 $30,000 × 27.5% = $8,250 (management fee) $30,000 - $8,250 = $21,750 Since $21,750 exceeds the guaranteed rent, the landlord receives $21,750.

Landlords can ensure a stable income even during market downturns or off-peak seasons. This minimises the financial risk of vacancies and rental price drops, offering greater financial security.

The guaranteed rent is typically lower than the market rent, but it provides a stable income source. If the rental market performs well, landlords may earn more than the guaranteed amount. However, if market conditions decline, they are still assured of receiving the minimum rent.

Yes, landlords will still receive the agreed minimum rent even if there are no guests staying for a period of time. This is one of the biggest advantages of the GMR scheme. Full Lease (Master Lease) Scheme

The standard lease period is one year, as stated in the contract.

If the long-term rental market declines, the agreed rental amount remains unchanged and will still be paid as per the contract.

No, once the one-year master lease contract is signed, the agreement must be followed until the contract ends.
