Why landlords are choosing TenancyIQ

Tenant screening at a fraction of the cost

Centrix adverse credit report, court fines search, and Tenancy Tribunal record, from $15.

Built entirely around NZ tenancy law

Every workflow follows the Residential Tenancies Act and Healthy Homes Standards as they apply today.

Tax time, handled

IRD-ready tax summary generated automatically.

One platform, not a bundle of workarounds

Tenant portal, rent ledger, digital signing, bond lodgement, and compliance tracking in one place.

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.
