Mike joins the One Roof Radio Show again, this time discussing the challenging state of the rental market for landlords, tips for how to get your property rented, and he delves into the upcoming pet law change, and how it will be difficult to say no to pets.

Rental prices have decreased for the first time since 2022. The latest Trade Me rental price data was released to the media on 25th July, and they are leading with headlines similar to the above. While true in the regions, rent currently remains flat in Auckland.
Having the right property manager for your investment property is crucial.
