Built entirely around NZ tenancy law
Every workflow follows the Residential Tenancies Act and Healthy Homes Standards as they apply today.

Who might be better served by myRent or PropertyMe
PropertyMe is built for professional property management companies running large multi-owner portfolios — its enterprise features may suit that use case better than a self-managing landlord tool. myRent has a longer track record in the NZ market and may suit landlords who prioritize platform maturity over per-check cost.
