Landlord inspections: what to expect
They’re not as scary as you may think.
AI summary
Landlord inspections in New Zealand have clear rules. Landlords can inspect no more than once every four weeks and must provide at least 48 hours' notice; surprise visits are illegal.
Your responsibility is to keep the property "reasonably clean and tidy." The inspection's main purpose is to check for damage and maintenance needs, not perfect housekeeping.
Landlords may take photos for their records but should avoid your personal items. You can be present or leave a note about any issues.
