Barfoot & Thompson New Lynn Property Management

The rental market is hot in Auckland so it is currently competitive with lots of people applying for a single property. In order to get yourself to the top of the pile of applications, a strategy is necessary.

1. Pay attention to detail on your application

You want to make a good first impression and an accurate and complete rental application is the way to do that. When completing the application think of it as a job interview and ensure that information is completed as neatly and comprehensively as possible. Leaving fields blank or incomplete, can result in landlords moving onto the next candidate.

2. Show your enthusiasm and get in your application quickly

If you have attended a viewing and you are in love with a place, follow-up immediately with the property manager either via email or telephonically expressing your interest. If you're completing an online application, follow this up with an email to the property manager with supporting documents to ensure that your application has been received. Being extra helpful could be your point of difference.

3. Be specific and proactive

When asked about the term of the lease, be specific so that the landlord has all the relevant details when making a decision.Go the extra mile by including additional information such as a covering letter sharing a little about yourself and why you love the property. Including a photo of yourself and your family may also be a nice touch This provides further insight as to your personality and about you as a tenant. Also get your paperwork and supporting documents sorted ahead of starting your rental search so you can get ahead of the line with your application.

4. References can open the door

Reference letters from previous landlords are a great way to make the case that you are the best applicant for a rental. If you haven’t rented before, getting a reference from someone of good standing such as your employer, a real estate agent or a community leader.

5. If you've got pets, go overboard with details

There’s no such thing as too much information when it comes to pets. Share as much information as you can. Maybe also include a photo of your furry friend.

Boasting two levels and decorated in neutral tones through this home provides easy living only a stones throw from New Lynn Kindergarten and a short stroll to New Lynn Primary School, Lynmall with an assortment of retail stores, your nearby local greengrocer & butcher and an array of cafes and resturants to choose from.

Payment of the bond

A bond is money you pay as security to your landlord to protect them in case of unpaid rents or damage to their property. The bond can legally be up to the equivalent of four weeks rent (and no more).

All bond money is lodged with and held in trust by Tenancy Services, which is part of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. You'll be given a receipt for your bond, which you should keep in a safe place.

Day light savings ends this weekend!

Renting with pets
Renting with your furry friends isn't always easy. So we've put together some of our top tips to give you the best chance of success when you're applying for rental properties with your pets.

Here's our top five tips:
1. Be honest
Be honest and upfront. Landlords appreciate tenants being straight up and may be open to the idea of a pet.

2. There's no such thing as too much information
Include as much information as possible in your application. What breed are they? How old? Do they have long or short hair? Do they stay home alone during the day? Where will they sleep? Do they bark?

3. Include references
Provide pet references if you can. These go a long way. You could get these from a previous property manager or landlord, your vet, doggy day care or trainer.

4. Offer to pay the full bond
Tenancy agreements can include a pet clause, outlining what will happen in the event of any damage. Landlords can also request the full four weeks bond.

5. If you don't ask, you don't get...
It doesn't hurt to ask. Even if the ad says no pets, it's worth seeing if an exception can be made.

Perfect in Parkhill

What is required to meet the healthy home standards?

The healthy homes standards introduce specific and minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping in rental properties and became law on 1 July 2019.

All private rentals must comply within 90 days of any new or renewed tenancy after 1 July 2021, with all private rentals complying by 1 July 2024.

Landlords are responsible for maintaining and improving the quality of their rental properties. These standards will help ensure landlords have healthier, safer properties and lower maintenance costs for their investments.

The standards will also make it easier for tenants to keep their homes warm and dry.

Unless there are exemptions that apply, all rental homes will be required to have:

* A fixed heating device that can heat the main living area to 18 degrees Celsius. No less than 1.5kw or greater than 2.4Kw.

* Ceiling and underfloor insulation that either meets the 2008 Building Code insulation standard, or (for existing ceiling insulation) has a minimum thickness of 120 millimetres.

* Mechanical extraction fans or rangehoods (externally vented) in kitchens and bathrooms. In addition, all habitable rooms will require windows that open. We will need to know the fan diameter or exhaust capacity.

* A ground moisture barrier installed to stop moisture rising into the home, where there is an enclosed subfloor space.

* Adequate drainage and guttering to prevent water entering the home.

* No unnecessary gaps or holes in walls, ceilings, windows, floors, and doors that cause noticeable draughts. All unused chimneys and fireplaces must be blocked. If a tenant wishes to use a fireplace, we will need to have a written request not to board this up.
