I suspect we won't see many more landlords doing that. Most landlords - over 80% - have only one or two rentals and the rules are complex already with more complexity, more compliance, more costs and more big fines coming up. Small time owners already have enough trouble keeping up, and the consequences of ignorance can be serious. And expensive.
I expect most owners who engage a PM now will continue to do so, and self managing owners that run into tenant troubles will seriously consider switching as the cheaper option. And then the PM will recover the cost for them by regularly increasing rent. Something that small or accidental landlords don't always do.
Current line in the sand, info from MBIE, is that 53.6% of rentals are managed by PMs. So we shall see what happens.

It's the letting of properties that I suspect owners will do in larger numbers, but will still hand the management to an agency. Back in those ghastly days when I was a residential landlord (yuk) I always selected my own tenants, then handed the management to a prop. manager - after a couple of experiences with managers letting my properties - other than tenant selection they generally did a good job.

Its the same old sad sack selfish recurring theme. Why do anything ? NZ is too small to make a difference. No responsibility taken , no care given, meme,me me.Whats the use in taking a single step, let alone a first step.
Being a single use human has its pros and cons ehh lol.

What have you done lately to stop all the rubbish that has drifted across from all those rivers in the northern hemisphere
So tell me. What difference will the banning of single use plastic bags make to anything?
(fun fact. NZ uses approx 750,000,000 single use plastic bags a year out of 5,000,000,000,000 used globally every year. That's NZ contributing 0.015% to single bag use. And we only make up 0.05% of the worlds population - looks like we are already doing our bit. Good on us!)

Yes i hope you've got the message by now. It reminds me of the saying my forbears use to say. "look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves" except in this case its leading by example, informing, making people aware and letting every single human know that their doing DOES make a difference, think global act local etc etc, win/win and a self empowering act.
Trumps rise ispartially due to people feeling disempowered imo btw.
