Property Management for Landlords in Dhaka

Letting a property in Gulshan, Banani or Baridhara to an expatriate or corporate tenant can be rewarding, but it takes steady attention: finding the right tenant, keeping the home up to the standard foreign tenants expect, and handling problems quickly. Our property management service in Dhaka gives owners a single local representative who does that work and reports back clearly.

What does property management in Dhaka include?

• Tenant screening: employer verification, passport or NID checks, previous tenancy references and, for corporate lets, company registration documents.
• Letting and marketing: our own photographs, an accurate listing on our website and introductions to expatriate and corporate tenants.
• Rent collection and polite, documented follow-up of any arrears.
• Quarterly inspections with photographic records shared with you.
• Move-in and move-out condition reports, with an inventory for furnished homes.
• Repairs and maintenance through contractors we have used repeatedly, with written quotations for your approval.
• Monthly owner statements showing rent received, service charge, deductions and any maintenance spend.

Who is this service for?

It suits resident owners who do not have time to manage a tenancy themselves, and non-resident owners who need a reliable person on the ground in Dhaka. It also suits owners of furnished apartments who want to reach the foreign tenants we work with every day — diplomats, embassy staff, UN and NGO employees and international company staff — who usually stay from five months to two years. We manage residential and commercial property.

How does our property management work?

1. Initial conversation: you tell us about the property, your goals and any constraints, such as preferred tenant type.
2. Inspection and rent appraisal: we visit, photograph the property and advise on a realistic rent based on what comparable homes in our listings achieve.
3. Preparation: we suggest repairs, furnishing or security improvements that help the property meet expatriate expectations.
4. Finding a tenant: we market the property, arrange viewings and screen applicants before presenting them to you.
5. Agreement and handover: the lease terms are agreed in writing, the deposit is recorded and a condition report is signed at move-in.
6. Ongoing management: rent collection, inspections, repairs and monthly statements for the length of the tenancy.
7. Renewal or exit: we handle renewal discussions, or the move-out inspection and deposit settlement when a tenant leaves.

What do foreign tenants look for in a Dhaka rental?

Expatriate and corporate tenants tend to prioritise the same things, and a property that meets them usually lets more easily:

• Controlled entry, a guard, CCTV and working fire exits and extinguishers.
• A generator that covers essential circuits during power cuts.
• Reliable water supply and hot water.
• Dedicated parking, which is scarce in Gulshan and Banani.
• Good furniture and a clean, well-maintained kitchen and bathrooms, if the home is let furnished.

Our embassy-standard apartment security checklist explains what many international organisations check before approving a building.

How much does property management cost, and what rent can I expect?

Our management fee depends on the property, its location and the scope of service you choose, and it is agreed in writing before we begin. There are no hidden charges on top of what is agreed. For rent expectations, our Dhaka apartment rent price guide shows rents from properties we list. As an indication, furnished apartments in our current listings rent from around BDT 70,000 to BDT 160,000 a month in Gulshan and BDT 120,000 to BDT 170,000 in Banani, depending on size, building and furnishing.

Which areas do we manage property in?

We focus on the areas where expatriate and corporate demand is strongest: Gulshan, Banani, Baridhara and Bashundhara, along with Uttara, Niketon and the commercial districts such as Tejgaon and Mohakhali for office floors. If your property is elsewhere in Dhaka, ask us and we will tell you honestly whether we are a good fit.
