Most landlords are well aware that charging extra bond for pets is illegal in New Zealand. So what can you do to make sure you feel more comfortable renting to tenants with pets?

Listing your property on Facebook is a fantastic additional source of potential tenants for your property. But managing the groups and enquires yourself can be a hassle...

The number of enquires your property receives depends on a lot of factors but some of these are in your control. Making a few adjustments can make a huge difference to the response you get to your advert.

myRent can list your property for rent on Trade Me for a lower price than listing directly. We will also list your property on the 5 other websites as part of the same package. Don't miss out on the perfect tenant by only listing on one website.

myRent can list your property for rent on oneroof.co.nz and give you exposure to yet another audience of potential tenants.

Realestate.co.nz is NZ's largest specialist property website and attracts a different audience from the other property portals. The enquires received through realestate.co.nz are on average of a much higher quality than those from other sources.

Perhaps you’ve just received keys to your new rental property, or your current tenants are leaving without much notice.

Most landlords are genuinely trying to do their best at managing their rental properties. However, nobody is perfect. Sometimes inexperience and unfamiliarity with the ever-changing tenancy law lead to mistakes and actions that could be considered illegal.

Using great photos and a good description could mean your place is leased in days, not weeks. Photos and words matter a lot, actually.

As a landlord, there is never enough time to do everything. Property maintenance and upkeep is often pushed to the side and postponed until a later date. There is no better time than now to spend a couple of hours or even a few days on improving your investment property.

Two major factors to renting your property out are organising a successful viewing and attracting attention of the right tenants.

Renting to students has always been a mixed bag. Some landlords wouldn’t touch it with a stick, while others thrive on filling their investment properties with this (usually) booming segment of the rental population.

Getting your paperwork in order before a tenancy starts sets the tone for the tenancy, prevents misunderstandings, and makes sure everything is done the right way.
