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.

The Tenancy Services Division figures show that in Nelson / Marlborough the most expensive average rent for a two bedroomed house is in Tasman – Richmond / Wakefield / Brightwater / Mapua at $300 per week. The cheapest is in Grey District at $210 per week.

For a three bedroomed house in Nelson / Marlborough the most expensive average rent is in Tasman – Richmond / Wakefield / Brightwater / Mapua at $360 per week and the cheapest is in Westland District at $240 per week.
