The prices above were recorded during the six months to 31 December 2012.

Market rent is described in the Residential Tenancies Act as the amount of money a willing landlord might reasonably expect to receive, and a willing tenant might reasonably expect to pay for the tenancy, in comparison with rent levels for similar properties in similar areas.

Rental prices from the Tenancy Services Division include rentals for social housing so market rents in the lower quarter of prices are unlikely to be found in the private sector in some suburbs.

Rental properties in New Zealand are typically let from around the beginning of the calendar year for 12 months. Because of this there is generally an increase in rents at the beginning of the year.

According to Crockers Property in December 2012, Aucklanders are paying around $155 a week more to live in a three bedroomed rental compared to the rest of New Zealand and $90 a week more to live in a two bedroomed rental.

From the selection displayed, the Tenancy Services Division figures show that in Auckland Central the most expensive average rent for a two bedroomed house is in Ponsonby / Freemans Bay at $600 a week. The cheapest is in Otahuhu at $300 per week.

For a three bedroomed house in Auckland Central the most expensive average rent is in Parnell at $700 per week and the cheapest is in Otahuhu at $380 per week.
