Built for New Zealand rentals

Tenant screening software for NZ rentals

Keep applications, consent and screening evidence together without asking tenants for information you do not need.

RentManager gives applicants a reusable profile and gives landlords a structured review flow for identity, income, rental history, references and supported credit checks. Credit checks are landlord initiated after explicit consent, with access limited to the requesting owner and authorised delegated users.

What the workflow includes

Applicants enter their details once and choose what a landlord can see through a secure share flow.

Record consent before supported identity, credit or reference checks are requested.

Compare applications using consistent fields while keeping the final selection decision with the landlord.

Keep tenant personal information in New Zealand and avoid advertising trackers on the application journey.

Two screening paths, with their scope made clear

Use a one-off credit report for a single check, or manage the wider screening process alongside a rental application.

One-off Centrix report

$20 NZD including GST, paid once

  • Includes the Centrix AdverseReport only.
  • The applicant receives a separate email to complete identity and consent before payment is available.
  • The verified requester receives a temporary link to the original report. RentManager and Centrix retention limits can end access.
  • References, photo ID collection, an insurer summary and other database searches are not included in this one-off report.

Screen within a RentManager application

  • Keep the application, applicant-shared information, income evidence, rental history and reference responses together.
  • Request a Centrix AdverseReport for each selected person only after required consent and identity review.
  • Court Fines and driver licence verification are separate optional services, require their own consent and depend on provider availability.
  • The landlord reviews the evidence and makes the tenancy decision; the system does not automatically select an applicant.

Reference checks in progress

Fictional workflow states matching the seeded demo show how screening can include references alongside provider checks.

  • Previous landlord reference

    Request sent. Awaiting a response before landlord review.

  • Employment reference

    Response received. Ready for the landlord to review as evidence.

These are synthetic workflow examples, not reference answers or a tenant recommendation. The landlord reviews relevant evidence and makes the decision.

How it works

  1. 1

    Invite the applicant to complete and share a rental profile.

  2. 2

    Review the application and request only relevant checks with recorded consent.

  3. 3

    Document the decision, then carry the selected applicant into tenancy setup.

Scope and limitations

A check is evidence, not a guarantee of future behaviour. Landlords remain responsible for a fair, relevant decision and for meeting Privacy Act and Human Rights Act obligations. Availability of paid checks depends on the connected provider.
