Student Property Management

At Otago Flats, we understand the requirements of looking after a student property are different from a standard rental property. The management of our student flats ensures students feel supported while processes are in place to ensure properties are well maintained and looked after. 

Flatting in Dunedin is synonymous with parties and socialising; therefore, careful tenant selection is of enormous importance. Otago Flats carries out rigorous reference checks, which results in high-quality tenants who respect our properties. 

For nearly all students, flatting in Dunedin is their first exposure to living out of home. Therefore, students often require extra guidance and support to ensure things run smoothly. At Otago Flats, we like to keep open communication and answer questions, so students feel comfortable and supported during this new stage of life.

 

Key areas of our student flat property management include:

  • Rigorous reference checks

  • Specifically designed residential tenancy agreements

  • Detailed entry and exit inspections

  • Thorough routine inspections: ensuring properties are being well looked after, in clean, tidy condition and appliances in good working order

  • Readily available contact and help for tenants

  • Meticulous cleaning between tenancies

  • Fixed-term tenancies

  • Annual market-rent reviews

 

Otago Student Tenant Reviews:

Saskia Foreman- Otago Student

“I am extremely satisfied with the services and care from Otago Flats. My partner and I have been renting with them for 1.5 years and it has been a pleasure. They are both professional and easy to approach. Our flat is looking over the city of Dunedin, and because of Otago Flats we are free to enjoy the amenities the city has to offer without stress! During the holidays, some construction was happening nearby and Suzi and Libby made sure to check in on us and even gave us a small gift card because of it. They really do go above and beyond. Thanks Suzi and Libby!”
