Living
Overseas?
If you’re out of New Zealand for more than 21 days, the law says you need someone here acting on your behalf.
Most overseas property owners don’t know this until it’s already become a problem.
We make sure you’re covered.
Why it matters
Owning a rental from overseas comes with responsibilities that are easy to miss.
If you’re away for more than 21 consecutive days, you’re legally required to appoint a New Zealand based agent and let your tenant know who that person is.
That’s just one of several obligations that come with owning a rental from overseas.
We’ve put together a simple guide that explains what you need to know, in plain English.
