The aim of our Ready to Rent programme is to reduce barriers experienced by whanau when trying to find a rental or maintain their tenancy

The programme is specifically designed to provide knowledge and practical tools to help you in your rental journey, as well as ensure you are confident enough to navigate the rental market and understand your rights and responsibilities as a tenant.

This is a one-day programme held during the week from 9am-3pm.
