Compare property management with self-management
A property manager can take on tenant communication, inspections, and in-person work. RentManager provides software for tenancy records and recurring administration, from NZ$9 to NZ$29 per month for 1 to 10 dwelling slots. Use the estimate below with your own fees, time, and service costs. The two options do different work.
Compare property-management service or software costs
Use your written quote or current software price. Service, event, setup, owner-time and vacancy assumptions are shown separately.
Advanced assumptions
Add irregular service charges, setup costs, your time, paid help and any vacancy difference you can support.
Presets use published price schedules and illustrative event assumptions. Check the provider's current quote before deciding.
Illustrative starting point: four properties at $650 weekly rent each, 52 weeks collected, an 8% management fee plus GST, no extra fees, and a $228 annual RentManager subscription. Owner time, paid help and vacancy are not included until you enter your own assumptions. Change the inputs to match your written quote.

A positive difference means the first option costs more than the second on the inputs shown. A negative result means the second option costs more.
Estimate only. Choose the fee basis and GST treatment stated in your written quote. The model includes only the charges and costs entered, counts onboarding in year one, and keeps ongoing and first-year totals separate. Vacancy defaults to the same in both service options; enter a difference only when you have a basis for it. This is not a service-equivalence or tax calculation. Check your agreement and consider whether the work, distance and time suit you.
Questions landlords ask us
Straight answers. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
What is RentManager?
RentManager is rental management software for landlords who manage their own properties. Start with the tenancy agreement: upload it, review the extracted details and complete the tenancy record. Then keep rent history connected with the agreement, inspections, maintenance and compliance records, with reminders to help you stay organised. You review the information and remain in control of decisions, while RentManager helps reduce the admin.
Who is it for?
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.
What does it cost?
Plans start at NZ$9 a month for one dwelling, NZ$19 a month for up to 5 dwellings, and NZ$29 a month for up to 10 dwellings. These fixed monthly prices include GST and are not a percentage of rent. Annual billing is paid once per year: NZ$90 for Starter, NZ$190 for Standard, and NZ$290 for Standard+. Every new account starts with 30 days of Standard free, no credit card required, and you can cancel at any time.
How long does it take to set up?
There is no fixed setup time. It depends on the agreement and records you need to add or check. You can upload a signed agreement to create a draft, review what RentManager read, and correct it before continuing. Rent history is imported separately from a bank CSV with a preview and duplicate checks, so review the opening balance before relying on arrears figures.
Does RentManager NZ have a landlord app?
The official RentManager NZ landlord app is available for Android on Google Play. The RentManager NZ website also works in a phone browser and can be added to your home screen. RentManager Apply is the separate tenant portal.
Get the RentManager landlord app on Google Play
Does it keep me compliant with New Zealand tenancy law?
RentManager can prepare selected tenancy notices and calculate supported dates, including rent increases and periodic tenancy termination. The right notice depends on your circumstances and legal grounds. Check current official guidance, review the notice and serve it correctly. RentManager cannot decide whether a notice is legally appropriate for your situation and is not legal advice.
Can I lodge a bond through RentManager?
Yes, for supported operations on an enabled RentManager account. The required Tenancy Services registration and payment setup must be ready for the selected operation. RentManager prepares and submits the request through the MBIE Tenancy Bond API. Some refunds require tenant review. A request is complete only when Tenancy Services returns a confirmed result. The bond lodgement page explains current eligibility and steps.
See bond workflow and eligibility
Do I need Xero to use RentManager?
No. RentManager is standalone rental-management software. Its core tenancy workflows run in RentManager; a Xero connection is optional and only available on eligible plans.
Can my accountant get what they need out of it?
Yes. RentManager provides an income and expense summary to help prepare IR3R figures, plus specific CSV and PDF exports for supported records. Review categories and source records with your accountant. You can sync supported data to Xero, or give your accountant read-only access.
Do I still need a property manager?
That is your call and depends on how much you want to do yourself. RentManager helps you keep rent records, notices, bond details, inspection schedules and compliance tasks organised, while you keep the decisions and arrange local work. Compare current written property-manager quotes and their service scope with your own time and costs. RentManager is software, not a property management service.
