新西兰的DIY房东由于未进行检查、检查不当和缺乏保险而面临风险,导致租金损失索赔增加。 DIY landlords in New Zealand face risks due to missed inspections, poor screening, and lack of insurance, leading to rising rent loss claims.

AMI的一项新调查发现,许多在新西兰的DIY房东没有承担关键责任,有财产和财政稳定的危险。 A new survey by AMI finds many DIY landlords in New Zealand are missing key responsibilities, risking property and financial stability. 约15%的租户报告没有定期检查,一半以上的租户直接与房东(往往是朋友或家人)沟通,降低了问责制。 About 15% of tenants report no regular inspections, and over half communicate directly with landlords, often friends or family, reducing accountability. 近一半租金由非专业人员管理,许多人缺乏适当的房客筛选、保险和维修检查。 With nearly half of rentals managed by non-professionals, many lack proper tenant screening, insurance, and maintenance checks. 5年来,租金损失索赔增加了33%,平均为每周租金的8倍以上。 Loss-of-rent claims have risen 33% in five years, averaging more than eight times the weekly rent. 专家敦促房东核实收入和参考资料,进行有记录的检查,保证专家保险,并为极端天气准备财产,以防止损害和财务损失。 Experts urge landlords to verify income and references, conduct documented inspections, secure specialist insurance, and prepare properties for extreme weather to prevent damage and financial loss.
