They’re not as scary as you may think.
AI summary
Landlord inspections are a standard part of renting and a chance to flag maintenance issues. In New Zealand, landlords can inspect a maximum of once every four weeks and must provide at least 48 hours' notice. Surprise inspections are illegal.
Under the Tenancies Act, tenants must keep the property "reasonably clean and tidy." Landlords may take photos for evidence but should avoid personal items. While you don't have to be present, it's a good opportunity to discuss concerns.
