The PS Nexa Homes Landlord Handbook
What Auckland property investors need to know about full property management — from onboarding to compliance to maximising returns.
Why Property Management, Not Self-Management
Managing a rental yourself works, until it doesn't — a tenancy dispute, a Healthy Homes compliance gap you didn't know about, or a maintenance issue that turns into a Tenancy Tribunal case because it wasn't handled within the right timeframe. Full property management exists to put an experienced buffer between you and the day-to-day of being a landlord, while keeping you informed and in control of the decisions that matter.
What We Handle
Tenant-Finding
Professional photography, listing across major rental platforms, viewing coordination, and a structured application and reference-check process — so the property is filled quickly with a tenant who fits it.
Rent Collection & Arrears
Automated rent collection, arrears follow-up from day one (not week three), and clear monthly statements showing exactly what came in and what it cost.
Maintenance
A vetted network of tradespeople, urgent-issue triage, and — critically — a paper trail on every job, which matters if a maintenance dispute ever needs to be evidenced.
Compliance
Healthy Homes Standards, smoke alarm requirements, insulation certification, and Residential Tenancies Act obligations change periodically. We track what applies to your specific property and keep it current, so compliance isn't something you find out you've missed.
Inspections & Reporting
Routine inspections with photo reports, so you can see the property's condition without being the one knocking on the door.
Getting Started
- Free rental appraisal. We assess your property against comparable current listings in your suburb to give you a realistic weekly rent estimate — not an inflated number designed to win your business, an accurate one designed to actually let quickly.
- Property onboarding. Photography, listing copy, Healthy Homes disclosure, and — if needed — recommendations on any pre-tenancy work that would improve rent or reduce future maintenance risk.
- Tenant placement. We market, show, and vet applicants, and bring you a shortlist with the final decision remaining yours.
- Ongoing management. Ongoing management, from the first rent payment onward.
Questions Landlords Ask Most
Do I have to accept the first suitable tenant? No — you make the final call on any application we shortlist. We handle the process; you keep the decision.
What happens if a tenant stops paying rent? Arrears follow-up starts immediately, with a clear escalation path defined by the Residential Tenancies Act. Most arrears situations resolve within days once contact is made; if they don't, we manage the formal process, including Tenancy Tribunal applications if it comes to that.
Can I switch from another property manager? Yes — we handle the handover, including reviewing the existing tenancy agreement, bond records, and compliance documentation, so nothing falls through the gap between managers.
How is my rent reviewed over time? We monitor comparable Auckland rents in your suburb and recommend reviews in line with market movement and legal notice requirements — not more often than the law allows, but not left stale either.
