Partnerships
Reliable tenants, Rooming House benefits without all the hassle
and peace of mind for landlords.
Why Partnering With
Jabel Works
Looking for a more structured and professionally managed leasing model — without the day-to-day operational involvement?
At Jabel Property, we work with investors and private landlords across Victoria to reposition suitable homes into professionally managed rooming houses.
Through our Partnership Investments program, we enter into a long-term lease, coordinate operational compliance requirements, and manage the property as a Class 1B registered rooming house, subject to applicable approvals.
Landlords love this model!
-
Our Partnership Model delivers dependable, fixed rental payments over a 3–5 year term. You lock in a consistent income stream no weeks or months without a tenant!
-
Rooming houses in Victoria must meet Class 1B building regulations, including fire safety, council registration, and planning overlays. We take care of it all — from architectural drawings and engineering reports to negotiating with council and obtaining occupancy permits. Our compliance-first process ensures your property meets every legal requirement without you lifting a finger.
-
You don’t need to invest a dollar! If your property qualifies, we fund and execute the necessary upgrades — including layout adjustments, fire systems, furnishings, and compliance works — as part of our partnership agreement. What’s better is you can keep it all at the end of the term!
-
In Victoria, qualifying rooming houses are eligible for a full land tax exemption under the Rooming House Exemption provision by the State Revenue Office. This can save you thousands of dollars per year in holding costs — especially in metro areas where land tax scales steeply with property value!

Case studies

Working with Jabel Property helped us achieve our dream of developing our land. The landtax alone was turning our property negatively geared - after 7 years of partnership we have finally commenced our build and couldnt be happier.

After 5 years of working with Jabel Property our clients couldnt be happier. They have had almost no repair requests, have had solar panels installed at no cost and continue to reap the rewards of above market rental and land tax exemption!
