Property managers in Nelson typically charge 8-10% + GST of weekly rent, plus a letting fee of 1-2 weeks rent when placing a new tenant.
Nelson rents typically run $430-520/week. At 8-10% management that is $34-52/week, around $1,770-2,700 a year. Add letting fees (1-2 weeks rent, $430-1,040 per new tenant), inspection fees, and maintenance markups. Nelson's tight rental supply means vacancy periods are short, which is one genuine advantage of the local market. But management costs still add up: $2,800-4,000 a year per property is typical once all fees are included.
Serve written notice as required by your management agreement. Notify the tenant in writing of new contact details and where to pay rent (s.47 RTA). Bond stays at Tenancy Services. Request the full tenant file from the outgoing manager including all inspection reports and the maintenance history.
