You have decided to rent out your Hanmer Springs property. Besides cleaning it, what else do you need to do to ensure that it is ready for new tenants?

A property must meet all legal requirements before it can be rented.

1. Make sure the property is in a resonable condition
2. Meet all relevant building and health and safety standards
3. Healthy Homes Standards must comply within 90 days of a new or renewed tenancy agreement - https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/healthy-homes/
4. All rental properties must have insulation in the ceiling and floors (some exemptions apply) - https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/maintenance-and-inspections/insulation-in-rental-properties/
5. All maintenance and repairs to the home are completed before tenants move in
6. Must have working smoke alarms - all smoke alarms have expiry dates and need to be checked - https://www.tenancy.govt.nz/maintenance-and-inspections/smoke-alarms/
7. Organise landlord insurance
8. Decide on furnished or unfurnished
