Introductory seminars to help new landlords get it right

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

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. 

The next seminar will be in:

Introductory landlord seminars are being run in conjunction with ANZ and the New Zealand Property Investors’ Federation.


Advanced landlord seminars about practical property management

We are piloting Level 2 education seminars for landlords that provide more in-depth information about renting your residential property.

These seminars are designed for those who have been landlords for more than 12 months and may have previously attended our introductory level landlord education seminar.
