Landlord inspections: what to expect
They’re not as scary as you may think.
AI summary
Property inspections are a standard part of renting. In New Zealand, landlords can inspect a property no more than once every four weeks, providing at least 48 hours' notice. Surprise inspections are not allowed.
As a tenant, your responsibility is to keep the property "reasonably clean and tidy". Landlords can take photos for their records but should avoid personal belongings. They can inspect all rooms, so use this as an opportunity to flag any maintenance issues directly.
