Application: Home, tenant, match

As the owner of your property, you have the final say on tenant selection. However, it is wise to consider the recommendations of your property manager. They have years of experience and training, which makes them an excellent judge of tenant character.

Interaction at property inspections gives your property manager a good feel for the prospective tenant.

Interested parties are required to complete a detailed tenancy application form, which includes rental, employment, and character references. Some tenants are happy to provide bank statements, but legally they don’t have to.

Najib verbally confirms references and asks qualifying questions to ascertain the applicant’s suitability for your property. They must pass the income test as well as New Zealand Tenancy Database check. Google and Facebook searches can also generate interesting and influential results.

Where appropriate, we encourage landlords to be negotiable with pets. This ensures applicants with pets can be considered on a case by case basis, thus widening the pool of prospective tenants and enabling the choice of the best tenant for your property.
