Being a landlord in Gaborone is rewarding — until it isn't

Owning rental property in Gaborone is one of the best ways to build long-term wealth in Botswana. But between finding reliable tenants, chasing late rent, coordinating repairs and staying on top of lease renewals, the reality of self-managing a property can quickly become a second job. These are the pain points we hear from Gaborone landlords every week:

Problem tenants

Late payments, property damage and difficult tenants are the number one concern for Gaborone landlords managing their own properties.

Vacancy gaps

Every month a property sits empty is income lost. Without active marketing and a tenant pipeline, vacancies drag on longer than they should.

Maintenance headaches

Coordinating repairs, getting quotes and managing contractors while working full-time is time-consuming and stressful for most Gaborone landlords.

Lease & legal complexity

Botswana lease law, REAC regulations and correct tenancy documentation can be difficult to navigate without professional support.

What our property management service includes

Our full property management service in Gaborone covers every aspect of running a rental property — from the day your tenant moves in to the day they leave, and everything in between.

Tenant sourcing & vetting

We market your property across leading platforms, conduct viewings, screen applicants, check references and present you with only the most suitable candidates — reducing the risk of problematic tenancies from the outset.

Lease preparation & signing

We prepare a REAC-compliant lease agreement that protects your interests as a landlord — covering rent terms, deposit conditions, maintenance responsibilities and all required legal clauses under Botswana property law.

Rent collection & arrears management

We collect rent on your behalf each month and follow up promptly on any late payments or arrears — keeping your income consistent and reducing the stress of chasing tenants yourself.

Property inspections

We carry out regular property inspections and provide written reports — identifying maintenance issues early before they become expensive problems and ensuring your property is kept in good condition throughout the tenancy.

Maintenance & repairs coordination

When repairs are needed, we source qualified contractors, obtain competitive quotes and oversee the work on your behalf — so you are never spending your evenings on the phone to plumbers and electricians.

Monthly financial reporting

You receive a clear monthly statement showing rent collected, maintenance costs, management fees and your net income — giving you full visibility of your property's financial performance at all times.

Lease renewals & rent reviews

We manage lease renewal negotiations and annual rent reviews — advising you on current Gaborone rental market rates to ensure your property remains competitively priced and your yield is maximised.

Vacancy management

When a tenancy ends, we move immediately to re-market your property and minimise void periods — drawing on our established network of prospective tenants across Gaborone, Phakalane, Mogoditshane and Tlokweng.

How it works — from enquiry to managed property

Free property assessment

We visit your property, assess its condition and location, and provide a realistic rental market appraisal — telling you what rent you can achieve in the current Gaborone market and what, if anything, would improve its rentability.

Management agreement

We walk you through our management agreement terms, answer every question you have, and once you are happy, formalise the arrangement. No hidden fees, no surprises — just clear, transparent terms in line with REAC guidelines.

Marketing & tenant sourcing

Your property is listed across major platforms, marketed to our existing tenant database and shown to pre-screened applicants — targeting quality tenants quickly to keep your vacancy period as short as possible.

Tenant placement & lease signing

We present you with the best applicant, handle reference checks and prepare a legally sound lease agreement. The tenant moves in, the deposit is secured and your property starts earning.

Ongoing management & monthly reporting

From this point, we handle everything. Rent arrives in your account, inspections are conducted, maintenance is coordinated and you receive a clear monthly statement — with us available whenever you need an update.
