Seminars

Education opportunity to help new landlords get it right

It’s your property so get it right – here’s how 

The Department of Building and Housing is running education seminars in 2008 to help new landlords get to grips with running their rental property effectively. 
   
The seminars are designed for landlords who have little or no experience in the New Zealand rental market.

There is no charge for the seminar, but places are limited and you must register to attend. Call 0800 TENANCY (0800 83 62 62) or email seminars@dbh.govt.nz to register.
