Letting a home should not become your second job. Two ways to work with us: list the home — we bring the clients, run the viewings and the contract while you look after the home — or hand it to us under exclusive management and do nothing with it at all. Either way you are paid within 3 days of the client's payment, usually the same day, and you find out that it is done, not that it started.
An owner who lets a home in Phuket from abroad ends up running a small business at night: briefing agents, answering a tenant whose air conditioner has stopped, finding a handyman from another continent, chasing the rent. The home was meant to earn, and instead it employs its owner.
We take that work. List the home and we find the clients — 250+ agents on the island and abroad — talk to them, run the viewings and sign the contract, while you keep looking after the home. Or hand it to us under exclusive management and we run everything, from the price to the pool, and guarantee the occupancy. In both you are paid within 3 days of the client's payment, usually the same day.

Two ways
Listing, or exclusive management
Side by side: what we do, what you do, how a booking happens, what it costs and what we guarantee. Both start with the same registration.
Listing
We bring the clients; you look after the home
What we do
We recommend the market price — a member of our staff names it from the deals we see. We find the clients with 250+ agents, talk to them, run the viewings and sign the contract. Clients deal with us, never with you.
What you do
You look after the home: if something breaks, the repair is yours — or you order it from us for a fee. You answer each booking request, receive the payout, and pay your own taxes and the bills for electricity, water and internet.
How a booking happens
A booking request waits for your answer within 24 hours. After that the client has booked another home, and the booking is lost.
What it costs
10 % of a short let — a stay by the night, or a lease of 1 to 5 months — and one month's rent per 12-month lease.
The guarantee
None on the occupancy: the market, and how quickly you answer, decide how full the home is.
When you are paid
Within 3 days of the client's payment, usually the same day.
Everything. We set the market prices, find and talk to the clients, run the viewings and the contract; we repair, replace furniture and appliances, decorate and photograph, clean, keep the pool and the garden, file the TM30 and check the home every 3 months. Every issue is solved promptly.
What you do
Nothing with the home, except pay your taxes. You watch the occupancy in your cabinet and receive the money. You approve only the repairs and the decor we recommend — never a booking.
How a booking happens
Instant: the client books and pays at once, and nothing waits for anyone — not even for you. That is why a managed home gets more bookings: nobody wants to wait.
What it costs
From 20 % of the rent, plus extra services by contract.
The guarantee
At least 70 % of the nights in a year let at the market price — on long leases, 70 % of the months — a clause in the agreement, not a sentence on this page.
When you are paid
Within 3 days of the client's payment, usually the same day.
Most homes in Phuket are let by a chain of people who each do their part and leave: an agent, a cleaner, a handyman, someone's cousin for the paperwork. Each is gone after their part. We are one team from the listing to the move-out — the people who priced the home are the people who answer the tenant.
Separate peopleOne team
Separate people
An agent finds a tenant, takes a month's rent and is gone until the home stands empty again.
One team
250+ agents bring the requests; our team talks to the clients, runs the viewings and signs the contract — and is still there at the move-out.
Separate people
The tenant calls you at night. You call a handyman you once found on a forum; he comes when he comes, and you never see the work.
One team
The tenant reports to us. Under listing you see a fixed price before you approve, and the cost comes off the payout; under exclusive management we fix it, and you approve only what we recommend.
Separate people
You learn how the home was kept at the move-out, from what is left of the deposit.
One team
A condition check every 3 months — included under exclusive management, ordered under listing — with the report in your cabinet.
Separate people
Three agents, three opinions on the rent, and the home stands empty at the highest of them.
One team
One market price, named by our staff. Under exclusive management we set it ourselves and stand behind it with the guarantee.
Separate people
The rent passes through someone's hands and arrives when it arrives.
One team
You are paid within 3 days of the client's payment, usually the same day, with the statement in your cabinet.
The left column draws a typical case for contrast, not a measurement; the right is how we work.
After you sign up
From the registration to the first payout
Six steps, the same under both ways but where the note says so: under exclusive management there is nothing for you to answer.
1Add the home
Register with your email and a password; say what you have in one sentence, about two minutes, and add 3 photographs or more — the first is the cover.
2We check it and name the market price
A member of our staff looks at the home and at the deals we see, and recommends the figure. You decide what the listing says.
Under exclusive managementWe set the price ourselves, and the agreement with the guarantee is signed before the home goes live.
3Agents bring requests
250+ agents on the island and in 23 countries offer the home to their clients; the first filtered request comes in 10 days on average. Our team talks to every client — you talk to nobody.
4You answer within 24 hours
A request waits for your yes within 24 hours. After that the client has booked another home, and the booking is lost.
Under exclusive managementNothing to answer: the client books and pays at once, and the booking is yours without a message.
5The contract
We run the viewing and sign the contract with the client — the term, the house rules and the deposit of 2 months' rent in it; the deposit is returned on the day of check-out. 19 days from the listing to a signed lease, on average.
6The payout in 3 days
Within 3 days of the client's payment, usually the same day: the client pays the platform, and you receive the amount in hand — the price less our commission — with the statement in your cabinet. A repair you ordered from us comes off the same payout.
Under exclusive managementOur fee and the services agreed in the contract come off before the payout; nothing else does.

We will tell you what your home should let for
Add the home and a member of our staff names its market price from the deals we see — before anything is published, and whichever way you then choose. Today the figure is named by hand; later it will be computed from our own deals.
We recommend insuring the home for the time it is let — the building and what is in it — whichever way you work with us. A deposit covers a broken chair; it does not cover a burst pipe or a fire.
We put you in touch with insurers who cover let homes in Thailand. The policy is yours and so is the choice; we help you ask the right questions. Ask when you add the home, or later in your cabinet.

Marina K.
Russia · 2-bedroom apartment in Laguna · listing since March 2026
I answer one request a week from my phone, and the rest is theirs. The viewing, the contract, the deposit — I read about them in the cabinet after they were done.
TW
Thomas W.
Germany · pool villa in Layan · exclusive management since January 2026
The villa is booked and paid while I sleep in Hamburg. I approve a repair twice a year; the pool, the garden and the TM30 I have never had to think about.
CP
Chanida P.
Thailand · studio in Patong · listing since May 2026
No contract term and no monthly fee. The commission is one month's rent, I saw it before I sent the listing, and the rent was on my account the day the tenant paid.
Questions
What owners ask before they decide
What is the difference between listing and exclusive management?
Under listing we find the clients and run the deal while you look after the home; under exclusive management we run everything and guarantee the occupancy. Listing costs 10 % of a short let — a stay by the night, or a lease of 1 to 5 months — and one month's rent per 12-month lease; you answer each booking request within 24 hours, fix what breaks or order the repair from us, and pay your taxes and the bills for electricity, water and internet. Exclusive management costs from 20 % of the rent, plus extra services by contract; the client books and pays at once, we repair, clean, decorate and file the TM30, and we guarantee at least 70 % of the nights in a year let at the market price — on long leases, 70 % of the months. Your only duty is your taxes. Under both you are paid within 3 days of the client's payment, usually the same day.
What does exclusive management of a Phuket villa or apartment include?
Everything the home needs to be let: the market prices, finding and talking to the clients, the viewings and the contract, repairs, replacing furniture and appliances, decor and photography, cleaning, the pool and the garden, the TM30, and a condition check every 3 months. The fee is from 20 % of the rent, plus extra services by contract, and we guarantee at least 70 % of the nights in a year let at the market price — on long leases, 70 % of the months. You watch the occupancy in your cabinet, receive the money and approve only the repairs and the decor we recommend; bookings need no approval from you.
How much does it cost to rent out my property through Phkt.Rent?
Under listing, 10 % of a short let — a stay by the night, or a lease of 1 to 5 months — and one month's rent per 12-month lease; under exclusive management, from 20 % of the rent, plus extra services by contract. Nothing is paid to list, nothing by the month, and the commission is counted by the platform — you see it in the listing before you send it. Under listing a service you order — a repair, a condition check, photography — has a fixed price you approve first, deducted from the payout.
Can a foreigner rent out an apartment in Phuket?
Yes: a foreigner who owns a condominium unit in their own name may let it, by the month or by the night, and Thai rental law treats a foreign landlord as it treats a Thai one. A villa held on a lease or through a company is let under that lease's or company's rules. When you add the home we ask once for the document that shows your right to it — the title deed, the lease or the company papers — and nobody else can edit the listing.
Do I need to be in Phuket to rent out my home?
No: 9 of 10 owners on the platform live outside Thailand. Our team talks to the clients, runs the viewings and signs the contract on the island; you answer requests from your phone under listing, and nothing at all under exclusive management. The keys are held by whoever you name — the building's office, a neighbour — or by us.
What happens if I do not answer a booking request within 24 hours?
The booking is lost: a client who waits a day has booked another home, and the request closes. Under listing every request waits for your answer within 24 hours, so the owners who are let most are the ones who answer the same day. Under exclusive management there is nothing to answer — the client books and pays at once.
Who pays the common area fee when an apartment is rented out in Thailand?
The owner pays the common fee, whether the unit is let or not. It is charged by the building's juristic person per square metre, and so is the sinking fund; neither passes to the tenant. The tenant pays the rent and the deposit, and what the lease names as theirs.
Who pays electricity, water and internet in a Phuket rental?
Under listing the bills for electricity, water and internet are the owner's, as the taxes are. Under exclusive management your only duty is your taxes; everything else about the home is ours to run. On a stay by the night the price the client pays covers the stay.
How much deposit does a tenant pay in Thailand?
2 months' rent on a lease, held against the inventory and returned on the day of check-out, less any damage beyond normal wear; a stay by the night is prepaid in full. We hold the deposit and return it on the day of check-out, so the argument about a scratch on a table is never yours.
What happens if the tenant ends the lease early?
The lease says what the tenant owes, and we enforce it: in Phuket a tenant who leaves before the end of the term forfeits the deposit unless the lease says otherwise, and the contract we sign states it. Under listing we then let the home again and you decide the new terms; under exclusive management an early move-out is our problem — the guarantee counts the nights let, and we fill them.
Can the lease be renewed when it ends?
Yes: before the term ends we ask the tenant and, under listing, you. A renewal is a new lease on the platform, at the market price we recommend, with the same commission as any lease. Under exclusive management we renew or re-let as the market says, and the guarantee runs on.
What is TM30 and who files it for a tenant in Thailand?
TM30 is the report of a foreign tenant's address to Immigration, which the owner of a let home files within 24 hours of the tenant moving in, online or at the office. Under exclusive management we file it; under listing we file it for an extra fee, or you file it yourself.
Do I pay tax on rental income in Thailand?
Yes, and the taxes are the owner's under both ways. What you pay depends on whether you are a tax resident — 180 days or more in the country in a year — and on who pays the rent: a resident declares the rent with a 30 % standard deduction against it; a non-resident paid by a company has 15 % withheld at source (checked 2 October 2026). The platform does not file for you; ask a Thai accountant about your case.
Who fixes things when something breaks in a rented home?
Under listing, you: the repair is the owner's, or you order it from us — the tenant reports to us, you see a fixed price before you approve, and the cost comes off the payout. Under exclusive management we fix it, replace what has worn out and tell you; you approve the repairs and the decor we recommend, and nothing else.
When do I receive the rent?
Within 3 days of the client's payment, usually the same day. The client pays the platform; you receive the amount in hand — the price less our commission: 10 % of a short let — a stay by the night, or a lease of 1 to 5 months — and one month's rent per 12-month lease under listing, from 20 % of the rent, plus extra services by contract under exclusive management — with the statement in your cabinet.
How quickly will my Phuket home be rented out?
19 days from the listing to a signed lease on average, and the first filtered request in 10 days. The home goes to 250+ agents in 23 countries as soon as our team has checked it; under exclusive management the client books and pays at once, so nothing waits for an answer.
Can I still use my home myself?
Yes, under both ways: tell us in advance the weeks you will live in the home, and they stay out of the calendar. Under listing you block them yourself in the cabinet's calendar, and agents and clients see only the free nights. Exclusive management works when you live in the home part of the year too: what matters to us is letting it from December to February, and the rest of the year can be yours. The fee and the guarantee for such a calendar are set in the agreement.
Should I insure my home while it is rented out?
We recommend it, under both ways: the building and what is in it, for the time the home is let. A deposit covers a broken chair, not a burst pipe. We put you in touch with insurers who cover let homes in Thailand; the policy and the choice are yours.
