Finding a pet-friendly rental in New Zealand is easier with the right approach. Use Trade Me's "Pets OK" filter to narrow your search and save it for email alerts on new listings.

To make your application stand out, create a pet CV with photos and include testimonials from previous landlords. Offering assurances like a professional carpet clean can also help.

Watch for upcoming changes to the Residential Tenancies Act, which will introduce pet bonds to make renting with pets more straightforward.
