In our latest RPMA webinar held on 24 April 2026, Chairman Tony Mitchell shared key insights on what’s ahead for the property management industry in 2026.

The rental market remains tenant-favoured, with rents declining slightly and expected to stay soft due to ongoing oversupply and lower migration. Property managers should prepare for continued pressure over the next 8–12 months in a competitive environment.

Looking ahead, “light-touch” regulation is on the horizon, likely by 2027. This may include registration, minimum qualifications, ongoing training, and a code of conduct—marking a significant shift for the industry.

As the landscape evolves, staying informed and continuing professional development will be essential. RPMA remains committed to supporting members through advocacy, education, and upcoming initiatives.
