How can we help

In New Zealand, landlords must carefully navigate tenant selection to comply with the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and the Human Rights Act 1993. Deciding who to accept or deny isn’t always easy, but making sure your decision is fair and within the law is important.

Setting the right rent is a key decision for any landlord, whether you’re an experienced investor or just starting out. Pricing your property just right can make all the difference between attracting great tenants quickly or having your property sit empty.

When a listing is removed on myRent it gets withdrawn as an active listing and marked as rented on our website. The listing is then moved from your dashboard to your listing archive which you can access it through your dashboard. Your listing will remain in your archive unless otherwise deleted.

When you remove a listing on myRent, it gets marked as rented, moved to your listing archive and displayed as a previously rented property on the myRent website. If you no longer want this previously rented listing to display it would require the listing to be permanently deleted from your listing archive.

Congrats on finding a tenant! You have successfully marked your property as rented. Your ads will come down from the property sites later today.

There isn't a magic formula for creating a perfect listing, but here are some tips to consider to improve your listing.

There are two types of property inspections - open homes and private viewings. Both options are great and offer benefits depending on your individual circumstances.

Potential tenants have the ability to apply through your listing or you can invite them to apply through their enquiry.

With open homes, these are open to anyone that wants to view the property. To better gauge how many people are going to attend you can include an option to RSVP.

You can schedule private viewings with selected applicants directly from the listing dashboard. Applicants can accept, reschedule or cancel. We remind prospective tenants the day before they have a viewing booked so they don't forget and don't leave you waiting.

You can create a QR poster for your viewing using the link below.

If you have noticed that your full description isn't showing on Trade me this will be because there is a limit of characters on Trade Me.

Every time a prospective tenant submits an application you will receive an email notification of this.

Every time a prospective tenant sends an enquiry/message you will receive an email notification of this message.

When you softly decline or archive an enquiry we understand it can be frustrating to receive a message from the same tenants again.
