Hi all,
Just wondering if proof of income was still a thing that would normally be on the "to do list" of a PM prior to tenancy agreement establishment?
I have engaged one of the larger property management co's here in Wellington and have never let out any of my properties in Wellington with a PM before - I have always done things myself.
Have a couple wanting to move in.
No previous NZ residences shown, they appear to have relocated from the US in March and seem to be living in an AirBnB for now. Stated income is nearly 3K per week for the primary applicant, secondary applicant is unemployed. The primary applicants employer is offshore (US based) and appears to he in the process of liquidating assets in the US to make a new start here.
6 month fixed stay, which is what I had asked for.
No proof of income provided, I asked the agent for this and assume he passed this on to the tenant who wrote back explaining his financial and working situation but no pay slips, bank statements or anything have been shown. I still rent, and have always had to provide some sort of income verification (a letter from my employer, pay slips or bank statements).
Is this still a thing? I do not want to annoy the agent, but am very cautious considering the current approach by the TT and government on rent arrears during lockdown in terms of landlords being able to act, and at a later point actually retrieve arrears.
