Your Landlord Journey

From your first conversation to the ongoing care of your property, understanding each step helps you make informed decisions. Our Te Anau team can explain the management service and tailor the discussion to your circumstances.

1. Discuss your goals and the property

Tell us about your home, your timing and the support you need. Penny Shanks can discuss the property, management services and fees, and arrange a rental appraisal.

2. Prepare and present the home

Review repairs, presentation, insurance, the healthy homes requirements and the records needed for the tenancy. See preparing your property to rent for a practical starting point.

3. Find a tenant and begin the tenancy

Discuss advertising, viewings, applications and fair selection. Before move-in, make sure the agreement, bond arrangements, keys, condition record and contact details are understood. Ask your manager how decisions and communication will work.

4. Care for the property during the tenancy

Rent collection, inspections, maintenance coordination and tenant management are part of our service. Agree how you will receive information and approve work. Read about inspections, maintenance and owner reporting.

5. Review changes and plan the next stage

Talk with your manager when your circumstances change, a tenancy is ending or you are considering a rent review or sale. The correct steps depend on the agreement and current tenancy law. Tenancy Services provides current independent guidance.
