The response to this service has been overwhelmingly positive from both Farm Owners and Employees perspective. Both parties like having a neutral party carrying out the inspection, which not only checks for cleanliness and tidiness, but also identifies areas of maintenance.At the beginning and end of every tenancy the Inspection Report is proving to be an invaluable resource to help minimalise discrepancies.

Beginning originally in Mid Canterbury where Heath and Rebecca were Dairy Farmers for 15 years, Rural Tenancy Inspections is now expanding in the wider Canterbury Region. They have a fantastic team of 6 and can offer inspections in all areas of Canterbury – the most recent additions being to the Culverden, Waimakariri and South Canterbury Regions. RTI is looking to expand throughout the South Island by the end of 2020 so if you are outside of Canterbury, please still inquire.

In addition to expanding in the regions, Rebecca is also using her knowledge and education in the Property Management Area to try and bring more information to the Farming Community about the changes in Residential Tenancy and how these apply to farming. Farmers are busy farming and with 3-4 houses on average on each farm a majority of their business is also being a landlord. They need to know their levels of Insulation – number of Smoke Detectors and have knowledge around Meth Contamination.

As well as offering Tenancy Inspections, Rural Tenancy Inspections can also offer Property Management on Farm Houses which are part of a Service Tenancy, Tenancy Checks on Perspective Tenants and can help with Information on and Contracting of Other Services. They are also pleased to be able to add Cleaning Services to their portfolio now after recognising the Market need for these services to go hand in hand.
