Everything you need to know about boarding houses, managed accommodation, and working with Boarding House Partners in New Zealand.
A boarding house in New Zealand is a residential property where tenants rent individual rooms and share common facilities such as kitchens and bathrooms. They are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act and must meet Healthy Homes Standards. Boarding houses provide affordable, flexible housing for a wide range of residents across New Zealand.
You can apply online through our resident application form on this website, or contact us directly through our contact form. Our placement team will assess your application, discuss your needs, and match you to a suitable property based on availability, location, and placement criteria.
Our managed accommodation includes fully furnished rooms with power, water, and Wi-Fi included in the weekly rent. Properties are professionally managed with regular inspections, maintenance, 24/7 support, and connection to social services where needed. All properties meet Healthy Homes Standards.
MSD (Ministry of Social Development) benefit redirection allows rent to be paid directly from a tenant's Work and Income benefit to Boarding House Partners on behalf of the property owner. This eliminates most non-payment risk and provides owners with consistent, reliable rental income every month.
Boarding House Partners currently manages 550+ rooms across Auckland and is actively expanding into Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, Dunedin, Palmerston North, Napier, Rotorua, New Plymouth, Whangarei, and other major New Zealand urban centres.
Most properties can be onboarded and generating income within 5 days of signing the management agreement. The timeline depends on property readiness and any required safety or compliance upgrades. Our team will give you a clear timeline during the initial property analysis.
We manage standard boarding houses, women-only accommodation, women and children housing, over-55 communities, youth supervised housing, emergency and supported housing, share houses, and entire house rentals across New Zealand.
Yes. We have specific properties designated for women and children, as well as entire house rentals suitable for small families. Our placement team will match you to the most appropriate property based on your family situation and needs.
