Why a Tenancy Agreement Matters
A tenancy agreement is one of the most important documents in a rental arrangement. It clearly sets out the responsibilities and expectations of both the landlord and tenant, helping everyone start the tenancy with confidence and clarity.
At PRO Rental Property Management, we believe a well-prepared tenancy agreement helps create a positive and professional relationship from day one.
What is a Tenancy Agreement?
A tenancy agreement is a legally binding document that records the terms and conditions agreed to by the landlord and tenant.
Under New Zealand tenancy law, every tenancy must have a written tenancy agreement that is signed by both parties. Once signed, each party should keep a copy for their records.
The agreement helps protect both landlords and tenants by clearly outlining everyone's rights and responsibilities.
What information is included in a tenancy agreement?
Who Needs to Sign?
The tenancy agreement must be signed by:
- ✓The landlord or authorised property manager
- ✓All tenants who will be responsible for the tenancy
At PRO Rental Property Management, we ensure all parties receive a copy of the signed agreement before the tenancy begins.
