FAQ

Will I receive a payment receipt? 

A processed payment will create a hold on the funds but you’ll only be charged when your listing has been approved and is published. A receipt will be emailed to you on the provided email account automatically after you complete the payment (it can take up to 3 days for our system to generate the receipt). If you require a receipt to be regenerated, you will need to contact our support team on privaterentals@realestate.co.nz 

Can I create a rental listing if I am overseas? 

You need to use a New Zealand-based credit card in order to make a payment for a listing.  

I’ve created and paid for my listing, but I can’t find it on the site? 

If your listing hasn’t gone live, it’s likely in our moderation queue. We will email you to let you know why the listing hasn’t been published and what steps you can take to ensure it makes it onto the site. If you’re still having trouble, you can contact us at privaterentals@realestate.co.nz 

Why has my listing gone into a moderation process? 

We need to ensure listings on our site comply with anti-discrimination laws. While we endeavour to moderate listings through an automation process, in some cases a manual moderation might be required. We strive to complete any manual moderation within one business day. 

 Will my property listing expire? 

There is no expiry on listings. However, we strongly recommend that you withdraw or mark the property as rented to avoid further enquiries and as a courtesy to people who are searching for rental properties. 

 What happens if I don’t find a tenant? 

Your property will stay listed on realestate.co.nz indefinitely, until you are successful in finding a tenant, or decide to withdraw it from the market. 

 Can I upgrade my listings to a Featured or Premium promotion once it has gone live? 

Yes, you can upgrade your property listing from a Standard to either a Featured or a Premium listing.  

Please note, you can not upgrade a Featured listing to a Premium, or downgrade a listing.
