For rent: 4-bed Auckland duplex — NZ$7,033/month

[romy.wells]

Offering a 4-bed duplex in Auckland at NZ$7,033 per month. The advertised floor area is about 40 m². Deposit, included charges and the preferred start date will depend on the final lease terms.

I’m seeking a reliable long-term tenant. Please include your proposed move date when contacting me, and post any questions about condition, transport, furnishing, running costs, pets or maintenance here.

Is the 40 m² figure correct for the entire four-bedroom duplex, or does it refer to only part of the property? That makes a major difference. I’d also want to know the minimum lease length and whether NZ$7,033 includes any utilities before considering it.

Agreed on confirming the area, but the location within Auckland matters just as much. Without the suburb or nearby transport options, it’s difficult to judge whether the rent works for a household. Is it furnished, and how would electricity, water and internet be billed?

I wouldn’t discuss final lease terms until the basic listing details are clarified. Four bedrooms in about 40 m² sounds unusually compressed, so a room-by-room description would help avoid misunderstandings. Please also state the pet terms, deposit amount or basis, and whether there is a target move-in window.

One more practical point: who handles maintenance requests, and what is the process for urgent versus routine problems? Prospective long-term tenants should ask for the condition of heating, appliances and any shared areas to be recorded clearly before agreeing to a start date.
