From later this year, Kiwi tenants will have a presumptive right to keep pets. If you manage rentals, you need to know exactly when you can say yes or no, AND prove you acted within the law.

This 3.5-hour in-person workshop with Sarina will give you a proven decision-making framework so you can confidently handle any pet request - from Rotweilers to baby iguanas, support dogs to prized Persian cats - while protecting your property, staying compliant, and maintaining good rental relationships.

🔑 What You’ll Learn:

We’ll go deep into tenancy law, insurance, health and safety rules, and general contract law.

You’ll learn how to:

• Approve or decline pet requests lawfully and strategically.

• Draft enforceable clauses that hold up at the Tribunal.

• Vet pet-owning tenants and manage risks effectively.

• Balance landlord and tenant interests without being “piggy in the middle.”

• Finesse your management authority so you lead on pet issues.

• Identify and avoid “loophole” advice that will fail in practice.

You will leave with:

• A decision-making framework for every pet request.

• Confidence to act decisively and defensibly.

• Practical tools for managing landlord and tenant expectations.
