Thinking of switching?
Move to RentManager NZ in an afternoon. We will help.
You should not pay per property or wrestle with outdated tools. RentManager NZ was built from scratch for Kiwi landlords - flat pricing, CSV bank import with auto-matching, and every report the Tenancy Tribunal expects.
Switching from myRent? Start in 30 seconds.
Upload your current tenancy agreement - your myRent PDF, or any signed agreement. We read it and set up your property, tenant, rent, bond and dates for you. Then you claim your free account and pick up where the upload left off.
Upload my agreementNo card required. We delete the upload within 30 days if you do not create an account.
What you get that you do not have now
One flat price - not per property
Other tools charge per property. We charge one flat monthly fee - manage 1 or 10, same price on the same plan.
Bank matching that actually works
Upload a CSV from any NZ bank and rent payments are matched to your tenancies automatically, with arrears flagged for you. Live Open Banking (NZ CDR) is on the way - for now it is a quick CSV upload, not a bank login.
Everything in one place
Properties, tenants, rent tracking, expenses, documents, arrears, notices, compliance, reports, team access. One login. One tool. No spreadsheets.
Built for the 2024 RTA amendments
Compliant 60-day rent increase notices, Healthy Homes tracking, 2024 Amendment Act notice templates, bond lodgement via MBIE API, Tribunal-ready arrears schedules. Always up to date.

Still using a property manager?
The average NZ property manager charges 8%+GST of rent, plus letting fees, inspection fees, and maintenance markups. For 4 properties, that can be $12,000+ per year. Here is what that money buys you - and what it doesn't.
Your money sits in someone else's account
When a PM collects rent on your behalf, the money passes through their hands first. In recent NZ cases, property managers have stopped paying landlords and disappeared with the funds. Independent PMs in New Zealand are not required to hold audited trust accounts - there is no regulation requiring them to keep your money separate from theirs. When you self-manage, rent goes straight to your bank account.
Your PM earns more when tenants leave
Every time a tenant moves out, the PM charges you for advertising, showings, and background checks - then earns a letting fee (typically one week's rent + GST) when a new tenant signs. A long-term, stable tenant means none of that income. Vacancy only costs the PM their 8% of the missing rent - and even that is offset by the fees they charge you to find a replacement. But it costs you 100% of the lost rent plus rates, insurance, and mortgage that don't stop. Worse, the PM decides how hard to look. If your property is difficult to fill, they may quietly deprioritise it - your property sits vacant while they focus on easier lets. Turnover also accelerates wear and tear, leaving you with upgrade bills while the PM earned fees from every turnover that caused the damage.
You might not know your actual rent
Some PMs raise the tenant's rent without telling the landlord, pocketing the difference on top of the management fee. Because the PM controls all communication between you and your tenant, this is difficult to detect. With RentManager NZ, rent goes into your bank account - you see exactly what your tenant paid. There is nobody between you and your money.
Every dollar saved matters more than ever
Interest rates, brightline tests, interest deductibility changes, and the prospect of capital gains tax - NZ property policy shifts with every election. Many small investors have seen their cash flow wiped out by policy changes they didn't see coming. In uncertain times, the 8-15% you pay a property manager is money that could be pure profit or a critical buffer. Saving $5,000-$12,000 a year is not a nice-to-have - for many landlords, it is the difference between holding and selling.
Self-managing is easier than you think
With the right tools, most landlords spend about 2 hours a month on property management. RentManager NZ handles rent tracking automatically, reminds you of compliance deadlines, and generates the reports you need - including your IRD IR3R rental schedule, ready to copy across at tax time. No spreadsheets, no paperwork chaos - and you keep 100% of your rent.
Are you a property manager?
If you manage properties on behalf of landlords - as an independent PM, a real estate agent, or a small agency - RentManager NZ works for you too. Palace and Re-Leased charge $200+ per month and are built for large operations. If you manage 5-30 properties, you get the same core features at a fraction of the cost: automatic rent matching, arrears tracking, RTA-compliant notices, inspections, and document management. Import your trust account transactions and see instantly who has paid and who hasn't.
