Finding a pet-friendly rental in NZ is easier with Trade Me's "Pets OK" search filter.

To make your application stand out, you can:

- Create a pet CV with photos and details.

- Include testimonials from previous landlords.

- Offer assurances for any potential damage.

Upcoming changes to the Residential Tenancies Act will introduce pet bonds (up to two weeks' rent) and make tenants liable for pet damage, aiming to increase the number of pet-friendly properties available for rent.
