Property management software for NZ landlords

RentManager is property management software for landlords who manage their own rentals. It tracks rent and arrears against your bank statements, lodges and refunds bonds, produces compliant notices, schedules inspections and compliance deadlines, stores your documents, and exports the figures your accountant needs at the end of the year.

Self-managing landlords with roughly one to ten rental properties, and small property managers. If you currently run your rentals on a spreadsheet, your bank app, and a folder of PDFs, that is exactly the situation it replaces.

Plans start at $9 a month for one property, $19 a month for up to five, and $29 a month for up to ten. The price is fixed per month, not charged per property and not a percentage of rent. Every new account starts with 30 days of the Standard plan free, with no credit card required, and you can cancel at any time.

An afternoon for most landlords. You upload your existing tenancy agreement and RentManager reads the rent, dates, parties and bond out of it, so you are checking pre-filled details rather than typing them in. Past rent payments can be imported from a bank CSV so your arrears history is correct from day one.

Notice periods and deadlines are calculated against the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 as amended by the Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2024, including the 60-day rent increase notice, the 90-day and 42-day periodic termination notices, and the inspection rules. Working-day calculations account for New Zealand public holidays. RentManager gives you compliant documents and dates; it is software, not legal advice.

Yes. RentManager connects to MBIE's electronic bond service, so you can lodge a new bond, top it up after a rent increase, and start a refund without leaving the app or filling in a paper form. RentManager is named by Tenancy Services as a bond service provider integrated with that service.

In New Zealand. Your records and uploaded documents sit on infrastructure in Auckland, and tenant personal information is handled under the Privacy Act 2020. If you would rather not use a cloud service at all, RentManager also ships as a self-hosted app you run on your own Windows, Linux or macOS machine.

Yes. RentManager produces a rental income summary in IR3R form, plus CSV and PDF exports of income, expenses and tenancy records. You can sync directly to Xero, or give your accountant their own read-only login instead of emailing spreadsheets around.

That is your call, and it depends on how much you want to be involved. What RentManager removes is the argument that you need one just to stay organised and compliant: the rent tracking, the notices, the bond, the inspection schedule and the tax paperwork are handled. A property manager typically charges 7 to 10 percent of rent, which is $1,500 to $2,600 a year on a $500-a-week rental.
