Tenant Selection

Selecting reliable tenants is a key part of safeguarding your rental property. At Oxygen, we use a structured process that helps us assess every applicant fairly and thoroughly. Our checks aim to reduce risk and ensure the tenancy gets off to a strong and stable start.

We go beyond surface-level checks. Our team verifies identification, investigates rental and financial history, and speaks directly with landlords and employers. This helps us build a full picture of who the applicant is and whether they are in a position to meet the responsibilities of renting a home.

Details we Review in the Application

Each application is reviewed for key information such as full name, address history, preferred start date, and how long the tenant intends to stay. We also ask about household members, pets, smoking habits, and whether they have viewed the property. Applicants are asked to provide documents like income verification and recent bank statements.

How we Check Identity and History

We confirm the applicant’s identity by checking their New Zealand driver’s licence against official transport records. We also review public databases including the Tenancy Tribunal, court records, and Parole Board entries. General online searches and social media checks help flag any other concerns.

Understanding Financial Position

We access a Centrix credit report to review credit activity and history. This includes scores, defaults, legal judgments, insolvency listings, and any known company or property links that may impact financial stability.

Assessing Rental Affordability

We evaluate the applicant’s income source, whether from employment, government assistance, or rental subsidies. Provided bank statements help confirm their financial capacity to meet ongoing rent payments.

Our thorough screening process helps landlords feel confident about who is moving into their property. At Oxygen, we aim to make tenant selection a seamless step in the process of managing your investment successfully.
