The Tenant Advocates’ Network is referenced in government documents, but has no public-facing presence. This page explains the kaupapa and how TenantSupport.org.nz helps fill that gap.

The Tenant Advocates’ Network is an informal collective of renters, community advocates, and support workers who share a common goal: improving tenant rights and access to fair, safe housing across Aotearoa.

While the name “Tenant Advocates’ Network” appears in government documents and policy discussions, there is no public-facing organisation, website, or central hub for tenants to access information or support. TenantSupport.org.nz fills that gap by providing clear, independent, plain‑English guidance for renters who need help navigating the Residential Tenancies Act.

We operate as a public information hub for the wider tenant advocacy community — a place where renters can find reliable resources, practical tools, and support grounded in the law.

Our focus is simple:

  • empower tenants with accurate information
  • promote fair treatment and safe housing
  • support renters facing challenges with landlords or property managers
  • strengthen tenant voices across New Zealand

TenantSupport.org.nz is independent, tenant‑led, and committed to making renting fairer for everyone.



Your Koha helps keep our tenancy advocacy service
free for tenants across Aotearoa.

Tenant Support Group is New Zealand’s largest tenant‑only support community and the country’s most complete tenancy rights resource. Every day, renters rely on our Facebook group and this website for accurate guides, template letters, advocacy support, and clear explanations of their legal rights.

This mahi is independent, unfunded, and kept online through the time and energy of volunteers. If this work has helped you, your koha directly keeps these guides updated, protects tenants facing unlawful behaviour, and ensures this platform stays free for everyone who needs it. Even a small contribution makes a real difference to the people who depend on this service.

 

Every contribution strengthens the kaupapa and supports renters facing challenges with landlords, agencies, or the rental system.
