myRent Alternative for Bond Evidence NZ

To keep a usable bond record, connect the bond details to the tenancy, then confirm the submission status and official reference before relying on it. RentManager's bond workflow sits beside the tenancy agreement, rent ledger, property compliance records and inspection history, so related evidence can be reviewed in context. myRent offers digital bond lodgement through Tenancy Services. It says landlords can have myRent collect tenant contributions and lodge the bond, or collect the money themselves and record the bond in the account. It also records the official bond number and supports online refund requests. Read myRent's current bond workflow and confirm its terms before choosing.

Starter: NZ$9/month for one dwelling; Standard: NZ$19/month for up to 5 dwellings; Standard+: NZ$29/month for up to 10 dwellings. Monthly prices include GST.

RentManager has an MBIE Bond API workflow that records bond details with the tenancy. Do not assume the two products use an identical connection or payment process. Compare the steps for tenant payment, submission, status updates, reference retrieval and refunds using the account and tenancy types you expect to manage.

Where does a myRent alternative actually help with bond?

If a bond dispute reaches the Tenancy Tribunal, the parties need relevant records and supporting evidence. myRent describes a digital tenancy record that includes inspection reports with photos. RentManager lets the account holder select and review relevant tenancy records for a case evidence pack, including rent history and inspection evidence where available. See how the connected property record works in our Healthy Homes comparison. In either system, check that the original reports, dates, photos, rent history and bond documents you may need are present and can be retrieved.

What should be on file for a bond claim?

• Move-in and move-out condition reports, with photos and dates.
• The MBIE Bond API lodgement reference (BN-XXXXXXXX).
• The rent ledger for the tenancy, showing whether any arrears fed into the claim.
• Any inspection reports during the tenancy that are relevant to the condition dispute.

Common questions

Are the myRent and RentManager bond payment and lodgement steps the same?

No. myRent describes both a service where it collects tenant contributions and lodges the bond, and a path where landlords collect the money themselves. RentManager has an MBIE Bond API workflow that records bond details with the tenancy. Compare payment handling, submission, status, reference retrieval and refunds for the account and tenancy you will use.
