myRent Alternative for Tenancy Agreements & Documents NZ
Quick question - are you reading this as a:
myRent's tenancy agreement builder is a genuinely solid tool for creating a new agreement from scratch - the gap is what happens to an agreement you already have, from myRent or anywhere else, when you want to bring it into a different system.
RentManager reads an existing tenancy agreement PDF and sets up the property, tenant, rent, and bond from it automatically, and supports Ed25519 digital signing for new agreements - no re-typing either way.
Self-managing your rentals?
See RentManager on real data first - no signup, nothing to set up.
Worth saying plainly: myRent's tenancy agreement builder is good. It is not the weak point that sends most landlords looking for a myRent alternative, and if all you need is a clean agreement generator, there is no reason to switch on documents alone.
Where does a myRent alternative help with tenancy documents specifically?
The gap is not creating a new agreement - it is what happens to an agreement you already have. Most tools, myRent included, assume you are starting fresh, which means re-typing a property, a tenant, a rent amount, and a bond figure you already have recorded somewhere else.
RentManager reads an existing tenancy agreement (a myRent PDF, or any signed agreement) and sets up the property, tenant, rent, and bond from it automatically - upload at rentmanager.nz/upload-agreement and the record is built for you, not re-typed by you.
What about signing a brand new agreement?
For a new tenancy, RentManager supports Ed25519 digital signing with a full multi-signer e-sign ceremony, so a tenancy agreement can be sent, signed, and finalised without printing anything.
What happens to the documents if you ever want to leave?
No lock-in: export your data whenever you want, in an open format. You can even run a self-hosted copy on your own computer, with all your data staying with you - the same principle that makes moving a document in easy also applies to moving one out.

Written from my own experience running rentals in New Zealand. It is general information to help you understand your options, not legal, tax, or financial advice, and RentManager is not your lawyer or accountant. Rules change and every tenancy is different - check your own situation with Tenancy Services, the IRD, or a professional before you act on it.
