Te Kauwhata is the northern edge of the area Nexus covers, and it is genuinely covered rather than listed for the sake of it. Landlords there get the same management as anywhere else on our patch: tenant selection, rent collection, routine inspections with a written photo report, and maintenance arranged and followed through.
Get a Free Rental AppraisalWe keep our fee structure straightforward, with the core services needed to manage your property included.
Advertising your property across our standard online rental channels is included, so it reaches prospective tenants without an additional listing fee.
Regular routine inspections are included, with a detailed report and photos after each one.
Rent processing, owner statements and the day-to-day records and documentation for your tenancy are all included.
A summary of your rental income and management transactions at the end of each financial year, to make your accounts or tax return easier.
If a tenancy matter needs to go to the Tenancy Tribunal, preparing and lodging the application is included. Any external filing or legal costs are separate.
Applications are carefully reviewed, including identity, income, rental history, references and credit checks. We present you with the strongest applicants and our recommendation. The final decision is always yours.
Rent is monitored and arrears are followed up promptly. Regular routine inspections come with detailed reports and photos, and maintenance is coordinated with trusted local trades within an agreed approval limit.
From Healthy Homes standards and the Residential Tenancies Act to bond lodgement, notices and tenancy documentation, we help make sure the right processes are followed and records are properly kept.
Check your management agreement for the notice period, then send notice in writing. We can look over the agreement with you first. You do not need to wait for a tenancy to end.
Your outgoing manager passes over the agreement, reports, the Healthy Homes statement, keys and the rent ledger, and the bond record is transferred to Nexus. We chase the paperwork.
Your tenants are told in writing who is managing the property, where to pay rent and how to reach us. Their tenancy and rent do not change.
We inspect early so we know the real condition of the property, and you get a written report with photographs.

What landlords ask us before handing over a property.
Yes. Te Kauwhata is the northern edge of what we cover, and we would rather say that plainly than stretch the claim. If you own something further north again, call the office and ask before you commit to anything. We will tell you straight if it is outside what we can service well.
The same as anywhere else we manage: advertising and viewings, tenant screening, the tenancy agreement and bond, rent collection with arrears followed up in writing, routine inspections with a written photo report, and maintenance arranged and followed through. What applies to your property is set out in the management agreement.
Management is charged as a percentage of the rent we collect, with any letting and additional service charges set out alongside it. Our current schedule of fees is given to you in writing with your free rental appraisal, before you sign anything, so you can compare it properly against what you are paying now.
Not necessarily. A lower percentage on a property that sits vacant for longer, or that is let to a poorly screened tenant, costs more than a higher fee on a well managed tenancy. Compare what is included, how often the property is inspected, who you actually deal with, and what happens when something goes wrong, not just the headline number.
Yes. Changing manager does not end the tenancy and does not require your tenants to agree. The existing tenancy agreement carries on unchanged, and the tenants simply pay rent to and deal with a different manager from the handover date.
The bond stays lodged with Tenancy Services. The record is updated so Nexus is shown as the managing agent, which means bond refunds and any claim at the end of the tenancy come through us. The tenants do not have to re-lodge anything.
Our management agreement runs for 12 months. We walk you through the whole agreement before you sign anything, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to and what the notice terms are.
We carry out routine inspections through the year, within what the Residential Tenancies Act allows. You get a written report with photos after each one, so you can see the condition of the property without needing to visit. The schedule for your property is set out in the management agreement.
We can arrange a Healthy Homes assessment and report as an additional service, to establish whether the property meets the standards and identify anything that needs attention. Keeping the compliance statement and tenancy records in order is part of managing the tenancy.
