Your property. Our experience. Together we succeed.
For more than 26 years we've provided student accommodation property management for owners and investors around UJ and Wits. Today we manage 1,248 beds across 22 residences, from 12 communes to 10 high-rise buildings, focused on three outcomes:
● Occupied beds.
● Well-managed properties.
● Supported students.
What we can take care of
Every student accommodation property has moving parts. Students need assistance. Staff need managing. Maintenance needs following up. Payments need reconciling. Compliance needs monitoring. Meetings need attending. And owners need to know what's happening.
That's where we come in.
One Property Manager per property: a clear point of contact for students, staff, service providers and you.
We market your property and available rooms on digital and student-focused channels.
An empty bed earns nothing. We actively recruit students and keep occupancy up.
From application to final room allocation, we manage every placement.
Leases issued and signed online, so they're organised, accessible and traceable.
Payments reconciled across NSFAS, bursary and private-paying students. Rent goes straight to you.
Calls, emails, follow-ups and the many small matters of running a residence.
Housekeeping, maintenance, security and contractors coordinated and followed up.
Every job followed until it is attended to, communicated, verified and closed.
Regular inspections catch problems before they become expensive ones.
We attend university, accreditation and service-provider meetings and report back.
Complaints, requests and enquiries handled and routed to the right person.
Urgent after-hours matters escalated and attended to.
Where it fits, events and residence activities that build a sense of belonging.
TPN and credit bureau administration where applicable.
Clear reports on occupancy, students, maintenance and property matters.
Accreditation and compliance
We assist owners with accreditation applications, supporting documentation, inspections and ongoing compliance requirements.
Our objective isn't to prepare a property only when an inspection is approaching. We work with owners, staff and service providers to maintain the required standards throughout the year.
Depending on the property, we coordinate and monitor
● OHS compliance
● Fire compliance
● Fire extinguisher servicing
● Fire equipment
● Security requirements
● Pest control
● First aid equipment
● First aid training
● Safety signage
● Required certificates
● Property inspections
● Accreditation documentation
A student needing assistance, a contractor requiring access, a maintenance issue needing attention, an accreditation meeting or an owner wanting an update. Jezreel takes care of the day-to-day so you don't have to.
Occupancy matters
Our management model is built on a simple principle: we succeed when your property succeeds. Our commission is linked to the students successfully accommodated at your property.
So we're not only managing the students already living there. We're marketing your property, generating applications, finding and placing students, and maintaining occupancy. An empty bed is lost rental income for you, and no monthly management commission for us. Our interests are naturally aligned.
The results speak for themselves. Across our managed portfolio we maintain occupancy of approximately 90%, with several properties at 100%. We're not just filling beds: we're building student communities where students want to stay, return and recommend to others. Our integrated platform, JezHub, supports our team in managing properties efficiently and keeping occupancy strong.
Fill the beds.
Look after the property.
Support the students.
Our charges
Simple. Transparent. Performance-driven.
Jezreel charges an agreed commission per student, per month, following the successful receipt, reconciliation and allocation of that student's rental payment.
Because our commission is linked to occupied, paying students, occupancy and successful rental transactions matter to both of us.
Jezreel does not receive or hold the owner's rental income. Payments go straight into your nominated account. We then work with:
● Bank statements
● General ledger (GL)
● NSFAS / FUNDI remittances
● Bursary remittances
● Payment information
…to reconcile the payments, allocate them to students, and only then submit our commission.
01
The student is successfully placed and accommodated at your property.
02
The rental payment goes straight into the owner's nominated account.
03
We work with the statements and remittances to reconcile and allocate the payment to the student.
04
Following receipt, reconciliation and allocation, we submit the agreed commission for that student.
Your rental income goes directly to you. Our success is connected to yours.
