RentManager NZ - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

RentManager NZ is property management software for New Zealand landlords who run their own rentals rather than paying an agency 8 to 9 percent of the rent. It suits owners with one to ten properties who want their rent, arrears, compliance and paperwork in one place instead of spread across a spreadsheet, a banking app and a drawer of paper.

The work it removes first is chasing rent. Link your bank account through NZ Open Banking or import a CSV, and each payment is matched to the tenancy that owes it. A live arrears view shows who is paid up, who is short and by how much, with partial payments tracked correctly. When a tenant falls behind, reminders go out automatically and keep going until the balance is genuinely clear, so nothing slips between the cracks.

The rest of the job is covered without bolting on extra tools. Rent increases apply by effective date with the 60-day notice the Residential Tenancies Act requires, and termination, inspection and pet-bond rules follow current NZ law. You can lodge, top up, transfer and refund bonds straight through MBIE, track Healthy Homes deadlines, store agreements and inspection reports against each property, log tenant communication, give tenants a portal, sign agreements electronically, and export a tax-ready profit-and-loss summary for your accountant.

Two things matter for landlords specifically: the platform is hosted in the AWS Auckland region, so tenant personal information stays in New Zealand under the Privacy Act 2020, and pricing is flat monthly in NZD from $9 with no setup fee, no per-tenant charge and no contract. A free demo using your own property lets you see it work before you pay, and self-hosting is available if you would rather run it yourself.
