Their property managers treat every property with care, diligence and respect, aiming to maximise its potential. Their goal is to ensure you get the most out of your investment while minimising the stress and effort required on your part.

Oasia’s team offers a range of property management services, making life easier for landlords, property investors and tenants. Thorough tenant screenings, routine property inspections, proper documentation, proactive communication and handling maintenance requests are just a few of the tasks they take on for you. They also stay up-to-date with Auckland’s laws and regulations and keep you informed about anything that you should know as a landlord or investors. With their help, your property can stay comfortable and your actions can stay legally sound.

Managing Routine Property Inspections

Regular property inspections are key, as they help to identify everything from minor issues to major problems. Inspections also ensure that tenants are acting in accordance with their tenancy agreements and are treating the property with respect and care. Additionally, some insurance providers require regular property inspections, so Oasia’s diligent team can help you meet all of your obligations with your insurance company.

Aside from identifying issues and then having them fixed, Oasia’s friendly team will also encourage tenants to alert them of any maintenance needs as soon as they notice any issues. They understand that tenants may not want to bother you, but they’ll still advocate for maintenance requests so that problems can be handled effectively and in a timely manner to prevent them from becoming worse – and more expensive to fix.

Handling Standard Maintenance And Repairs

If issues are found during a property inspection, or if a tenant requests maintenance, then Oasia’s team will be there to find the best course of action. They have connections with reliable tradies in Auckland, ensuring that they only reach out to respectable, qualified people who can handle the work without delay. Handling maintenance tasks efficiently is key, because neglected properties can quickly develop problems that are expensive and dangerous.

Aside from maintenance, they will also keep you updated with the state of your property so that you can invest in the quality of your property. For instance, they can alert you to when fixtures and fittings need to be replaced, when locks or fastenings need to be fixed and so on. These steps help keep the property functional, safe and comfortable for your tenants.

Keeping Up With Auckland’s Legislation

Tenancy regulations and other legislative matters regarding property management are subject to change, so it’s essential to keep up with Auckland’s regulations to avoid potential legal disputes. No worries; Oasia’s friendly team is here to assist you. They stay on top of Auckland’s laws, keeping their clients in the know if any changes are made that apply to them.
If any changes need to be made, they will discuss your options with you to find the best possible solution to meet your needs while staying compliant with the law.

Got a Question for us?

Below are the frequently asked questions by landlords and tenants. We have tried our best to provide the best possible guidance.

It is usually written in your Tenancy agreement. Sometimes, the landlord may include this charge in their weekly rent. Usually, there is a fixed & variable charge for the water usage. Fixed charge is paid by the Landlord and variable charge is paid by the Tenant. Each month, the property management company will pass the variable charge to the tenant.

A periodic tenancy continues until either the tenant or the landlord gives written notice to end it. A fixed-term tenancy lasts for a set amount of time, the duration must be included on the tenancy agreement. It can be further renewed or extended if needed and agreed. A short fixed-term tenancy lasts for 90 days or less, terms and conditions may apply.

With a periodic occupancy, tenants must give 21 days of written notice to end the tenancy, while landlords must allow either 42 days’ or 90 days’ of written notice depending on the events. Both landlord and tenant cannot end a fixed-term tenancy earlier.

Tenancy term depends on various factors. We generally accept leases of either 6 or 12 months. The lease could be renewed at the end of this period, usually for a further 12 months.

We have a Zero Tolerance policy towards rent arrears. If the tenant gets behind in their payments, we alert them and follow up daily for up to 7 days. Usually the tenants inform us if there’s a genuine reason for the lapse and they promptly make the payment. If required and upon the request of the landlord we would issue both a Breach Notice and an Application for Order of the Tenancy Tribunal within one week if the tenant does not pay the rent after our follow up.

The Healthy Home Guarantee Act passed in 2017 details explicit guidelines for warming, ventilation, protection, dampness and leakage, and draft halting in invested properties. The healthy home standards include further requirements for:

  • insulation
  • ventilation
  • heating
  • draught stopping
  • moisture control.

An experienced property manager can benefit the landlord in many ways. They are a valuable asset in managing your investment property. They can help you with renting and maintaining your property. Right from inspecting your property, to finding a right tenant, legislative work, and handing over the property to the tenant, every process is carried smoothly by a property manager.

As a landlord, if you are moving out of New Zealand for more than 21 days, you would need to appoint an agent who can take care of your property and other obligations if it occurs on your behalf. The agent should be aware of the property management guidelines. It is a good idea to also inform your tenant about your plans and provide them agent’s details for communication.

There are a few steps to follow if you are considering selling your tenanted property.

  • Selling a property can be stressful if you do not keep the communication open.
  • All the involved parties should have the appropriate information regarding the sale.
  • Tenants must be provided with written notice and discuss the situation personally.
  • Take consent from the tenant before entering the property to take pictures.

if you are thinking of increasing the rent of your property, there is a process to follow.

  • The tenancy agreement must allow increasing the rent.
  • The rent cannot be increased within 180 days of the start of tenancy or within 180 days of the last increase.
  • At least 60 days written notice must be given to the tenant for an increase in rent with the appropriate dates.

The landlord is responsible for insuring the building and any chattels they own on the property. The contents of the property is the responsibility of the tenant.

Garden maintenance can form part of the lease negotiation so the parties know their responsibility. More extensive garden maintenance work, such as trimming trees, is usually the responsibility of a landlord.

Determining the difference between damage and wear and tear is not always easy. Tenants are not liable for reasonable wear and tear of the property. If the damage was unreasonable then tenants are liable to pay, usually the cost of damage comes out of the tenant’s bond. If the cost is more, you can claim for it on your landlord’s insurance or claim against the tenant at a tenancy tribunal.

If a tenant wants to end a fixed term tenancy before the end date, they must continue to pay the rent till the time you find a new tenant or the fixed term expires. They must pay the cost of listing the rental property to find a new tenant. You must ensure all reasonable efforts are taken to find a new tenant quickly.

The laws require you to install ceiling and underfloor insulation in your property from 1 July 2019, if it isn’t currently installed. You must provide prospective tenants with an Owners Insulation Statement.

If you want to end the tenancy at the end of a fixed-term agreement, you must give 30 days’ notice to the tenant. If you want to continue with the same tenant type, we can try to negotiate a new fixed term tenancy agreement. If this doesn’t happen, the tenancy becomes a periodic tenancy, and if you want to end the tenancy you must give 90 days’ notice, if the tenant want to terminate, they must give 21 days’ notice

Yes. You must fit the smoke alarm which is suitable for the property and is fitted in the right place. You must also check your smoke alarms regularly and make sure that it works.

You must provide the full set of keys to our team and each tenant listed to access the door, window, garage and any area related to the property.
