There are a few good reasons to consider hiring a property manager. Owning a rental property is challenging. You need to find good tenants, deal with maintenance issues, carry out inspections, know and comply with the Residential Tenancies Act, and chase unpaid rent (all while trying to do your day job). As property managers, we’re experts on New Zealand property management law, and having us manage your property saves you time, stress, and the risk of being penalised for something you may not have realised was unlawful.
Furthermore, if you are a self-managing landlord are you are going to be out of the country for more than 21 days you are legally required to assign someone to manage your property in your absence (it doesn’t have to be a professional property manager but we highly recommend you consider putting your property in competent hands while you are away).
