How Can Crockers Help You?
Currently, if you manage your own rental property, you face the following challenges:
- Ensuring the tradespeople hired for maintenance do the job swiftly and efficiently while following legal requirements
- Minimising the weeks the property is vacant or unoccupied while trying to maximise returns
- Handling the collection and lodging of bond with the Tenancy Tribunal
- Resolving disputes in the Tenancy Tribunal
- Maximising returns by ensuring your market rent and rent yield keeps up with Auckland trends
- Utilising any tax benefits afforded to you as part of the effort to maximise returns
- Applying the Residential Tenancies Act regarding insulation, smoke alarms and other issues
- Finding the time to do all this properly
Crockers can handle all of the above for you, and more. Your Crockers property management specialist will coordinate the professional delivery of the following services:

- Water – ensuring water bills are paid by tenants
- Preventing damage to the property, such as party damage, stains, pet damage or mould
- Tenancy Tribunal, mediation, warnings and eviction – we handle these issues in the most professional manner
- Pool care – we liaise with pool care experts so a swimming pool is valued as much as the rest of the property

How Crockers Can Help When Tenancies End
Auckland house prices are high and many tenants want to move into their own place, or may have found another rental that better suits their needs. All tenancies will eventually end in the tenant moving out.
Crockers steps in to help with expertise in the following:
- Advice on whether tenants’ left-behind or abandoned belongings can be disposed of
- Access for viewings and scheduling viewings
- Bond retrieval
- Distinguishing ordinary wear and tear from unacceptable damage
- Understanding where a tenant’s legal requirement to give 28 days’ notice of intention to move out applies
- Understanding what a fixed term tenancy means in reality
- Working out when to apply 90 days’ notice for tenants to vacate (this can be reduced to 63 days’ notice in certain circumstances, such as if there is a need for immediate family to move in)
- Communicating with you about your property and answering any questions
