Daily Lock down Q&A - 9 April

Q: Will Etchells & Young still be collecting rent and managing my property during the Lockdown?

A: Yes, even though E&Y are observing the Lockdown, our Team is working remotely from home with virtual access to our server and property management systems.

Our switchboard is also operational and thanks to cloud-based technology, phone calls can be transferred to staff members as if they were in the office.

We have had a very busy week processing tenant payments, paying landlord accounts and disbursing rentals.
To date we have processed almost 89% of our monthly rent-roll, we think that under these Lockdown circumstances that is excellent!

Thank you Etchells & Young tenants, you guys are great!
