Tenant Information Guide

Finding a rental and settling in is easier when the next steps are clear. This guide brings together practical preparation, move-in checks and the right help during your Invercargill tenancy.

Find a home that fits

Start with our available rentals. Compare the location, weekly rent, layout, parking and availability with your needs. Read the listing and viewing instructions, and ask about anything important to your household before applying.

Use the tenancy application to provide the information requested securely. Check your contact details and make sure any referees know they may be contacted. An application is a step in the process, not confirmation of a tenancy.

Before moving in

• Read the proposed tenancy agreement and ask about anything you do not understand before signing.
• Confirm the start date, key collection arrangements and the payments required through your property manager.
• Keep a copy of the agreement, property condition record and your manager’s contact details.
• Plan your power, internet and moving arrangements for the agreed date.

Use Tenancy Services’ starting-a-tenancy guidance for current information about agreements and rights and responsibilities.

During your tenancy

Keep property communications together and let your manager know promptly if something needs attention. A useful repair report includes your address, the affected item, when the issue began and clear photographs where helpful.

Use our repairs and maintenance page for the reporting process and urgent contact guidance. For questions about your tenancy, contact your property manager. Our Rental FAQs provide another starting point.

Planning to leave

Speak with your manager about the notice and end-of-tenancy arrangements that apply to your agreement before confirming a move. Keep the agreed dates and key return instructions in writing.
