Housing trust seeks rental property owner partners

Monte Cecilia Housing Trust seeks new cohort of property owner partners following Healthy Homes standards rollout

For the first time in several years, South and West Auckland-based Monte Cecilia Housing Trust is seeking new property owner partners.

Historically, the housing trust has offered attractive deals to homeowners willing to provide social housing across South and West Auckland. These deals include guaranteed rent and guaranteed tenant-damage remediation. However, the number of houses it manages was capped several years ago by changes in government policy.

With the rollout of the new Healthy Homes standards, Monte Cecilia is looking to replace non-compliant properties, opening the door to those whose properties meet the new requirements.

“The ability to replace non-compliant properties with compliant ones presents a significant opportunity for landlords looking to partner with us,” says chief executive of Monte Cecilia Housing Trust, Vicki Sykes.

“Partnering with Monte Cecilia Housing Trust offers several benefits for property investors. These include guaranteed rent for 52 weeks a year regardless of occupancy, low-commission property management, guaranteed tenant damage remediation, free quarterly inspections, and we organise maintenance and repairs without charging a facilitation fee.”

“By leasing your property through Monte Cecilia, you can enjoy financial stability and professional property management while supporting families in need.”

Monte Cecilia Housing Trust, as part of the Auckland Catholic Diocese, has a strong track record of providing housing and support services to low-income families for over 40 years.

The trust is currently looking for properties with two-plus bedrooms across South and West Auckland, with rents set at market rates. For property investors looking to align their investments with social good, partnering with Monte Cecilia Housing Trust is a compelling opportunity.

"This partnership not only secures your investment but also helps create a positive impact on the community. It's a win-win situation for both investors and families in need," says Vicki.
