Rent collection in Auckland - daily monitoring, decisive follow up, predictable cashflow

How rent arrears are handled

• Rent checked every day: Pukeko's mission is to get rent for our owners 365 days of the year. Every ledger is checked daily with zero tolerance for unpaid rent, so a missed payment is never discovered weeks later at statement time.
• Immediate follow up: if a payment is missed we contact the tenant the same day to confirm what went wrong and agree the next step. Communication is clear and respectful, but expectations are firm.
• Documented escalation: if arrears remain unresolved we issue the appropriate notices under the Residential Tenancies Act and, where necessary, proceed to mediation or the Tenancy Tribunal with a complete evidence file. Tenancy Services publishes the formal process and timeframes for rent arrears, and that is the pathway we follow.
• Bond applied correctly: at the end of a tenancy we apply the bond to what is owed and pursue any shortfall through the proper channels rather than writing it off.

Optional rent guarantee service

At Pukeko Rental Managers we focus on finding the right tenant, and we back our service with the PukekoPlus Rental Guarantee. This means that in the unlikely event a tenant gets behind in their rent, we can access a dedicated company fund to cover rent arrears while we resolve any issues. Property owners can be confident that rents are paid every month, investments are safe, and rental properties are in expert hands. Terms and conditions apply.

Example scenario

A tenant gives 21 days' notice and stops paying, incorrectly assuming the bond can cover the last weeks. With PukekoPlus in place your rent continues to be paid while we recover arrears from the bond and, if needed, pursue any shortfall through the Tenancy Tribunal. Conditions apply - read how PukekoPlus works.

Reporting owners actually use

Every step is visible to you - from payment attempts and notices to outcomes. We keep the file tidy so you can hand it to your accountant, your insurer or the Tribunal if required. Monthly statements, an end-of-year summary and supplier payments all run through the one system, and your portal shows the current position of every tenancy.

Why owners choose this approach

• One point of contact who knows your property and tenants.
• A deliberately capped portfolio for responsiveness and care.
• Rent checked daily, with an optional rent guarantee that has clear conditions.
• Notices, mediation and Tribunal handled by people who do it regularly.
