Welcome
Owning a rental property is a significant responsibility, and one that many Kiwis take on in pursuit of long-term financial security.
While the appeal of residential property investment remains strong, the rental landscape has changed dramatically. Compliance is more complex, regulations are stricter, and the risks of getting it wrong can be costly.
That’ s why expert support matters more than ever.
At Ray White, we’ re proud to lead the industry in residential property management. With over 195 offices nationwide and more than $ 18 billion in assets under management, our team combines national strength with local expertise. We’ re backed by industryleading systems, qualifications that exceed industry standards, and a commitment to service at every level.
Each and every year, Ray White is trusted to manage more than 3,000 new rentals nationwide- whether landlords are switching from another agency, moving on from selfmanagement, or expanding their investment portfolio. At the same time, over 13,000 tenants find their next home through our network annually.
For landlords seeking complete peace of mind, our flagship fullservice property management solution delivers exactly that. It’ s designed to provide endto-end care, compliance, and results, and is trusted by tens of thousands of property owners across New Zealand.
We also understand that some landlords prefer to stay more involved. That’ s why we created Ray White Choice- a flexible suite of services tailored to selfmanaging landlords. Whether you need help securing a great tenant, conducting inspections, or seeking expert advice, Ray White Choice offers professional support on your terms.
No matter how you choose to manage your investment, whether through our full property management service or by taking a more hands-on approach, Ray White is here to support you- and this guide is part of that support.
Inside, you’ ll find clear and practical information to help you navigate each stage of the tenancy process. It covers everything from compliance and property preparation to inspections, rent collection, and recent legislative changes.
