Tenancy consultantTell me what's happening — the bond that hasn't come back, the mould nobody's fixing, the notice that arrived yesterday, the rent increase that seems too soon. Include dates and amounts if you have them, and I'll give you the law, the deadlines, and your next move.

FAQ

Is this legal advice?

No — it's a research consultant. It gives you what the Residential Tenancies Act actually says, with section numbers and sources you can check yourself, plus the practical steps Tenancy Services recommends. For Tribunal hearings or complex disputes, take the cited sections to a lawyer or Community Law — you'll save an hour of their time.

How current is it?

Every answer can check tenancy.govt.nz and legislation.govt.nz live, so law changes, current filing fees and bond processes are up to date — and each answer lists the sources it used.

I'm a landlord — is this for me too?

Yes. The law is the law; the consultant serves tenants, landlords and property managers neutrally. Notice periods, healthy-homes deadlines, abandonment, arrears — same rigour.

Is there a free trial?

Your first two answers are free, no card needed — enough to test it on your real situation.

Is my situation stored?

Only so the consultant remembers your case between questions — keyed to your email, never posted anywhere, never used to train AI models.

Can I get a refund?

If the product didn't work for you, email us within 14 days and we'll refund unused credits.
