Finding a pet-friendly rental in New Zealand is easier with the right approach. Use Trade Me's "Pets OK" search filter to quickly find available properties and set up email alerts for new listings.

To make your application stand out, create a pet CV with a photo and details, and include testimonials from previous landlords. Offering assurances like professional carpet cleaning can also help. Be aware of upcoming changes to the Residential Tenancies Act which will allow landlords to charge a pet bond.
