What are tenants and owners saying about Absolute?

We receive a lot of great feedback from tenants and owners alike. This is what they are saying from our Google Business reviews ...

Would not use them again to manage my property. They signed off the bond before remediation work was undertaken leaving us with damage and no recourse to fix. Their advice was "put a picture over it". The end of tenancy clean was average at best with broken glass left in cupboards and surfaces left very greasy and clearly not wiped. Very unhappy given the speel we were given when we signed them up about their standards of cleanliness. They fell well short. We paid a professional cleaner on their recommendation before tenanting our property and they gave us back a house that hadn't been cleaned.

I’ve had an amazing experience with Absolute Rentals as a homeowner. They’re extremely helpful, easy to deal with, and really know their stuff. It’s clear they genuinely care about both the property and the tenants they place. I really appreciate the regular, detailed reports and how proactive they are in sorting out any issues. Their communication and professionalism make the whole experience completely worry-free. Highly recommend!

Our stay at our rental has only been short but so far more than pleasant, Kelly from the Absolute Rental team has been amazing, she has been friendly and welcoming since the viewing day has been easy to communicate with and easily approachable making us feel like we're comfortably able to bring up any problems/issues that we've had/have with our rental. As this is mine and my partner's first rental together we look forward to the future and renting under the Absolute Rentals team.

Absolute Rentals are an absolute nightmare! They welcome you nicely, but after that it’s all downhill. They’ll try to squeeze every dollar out of you — especially your bond — while ignoring repairs, failing to communicate, and never addressing issues. And then they'll moan about fly spots on the walls to keep your bond! Ridiculous! If you value peace of mind, avoid them entirely. Would give a zero rating if I could!

I have not come across a better team than that at Absolute Rentals. I have been with them through two different properties, Wade and Olivia always make the moving process so easy. They are so welcoming and make you feel very well looked after as a tenant. Their communication between tenants and landlords is amazing and their efficiency in having any issues with the property rectified is incredible. Highly recommend going through them, whether it be as a tenant or a landlord 😊

I unexpectedly found myself in a situation where I needed to rent out a house in Palmerston North that I inherited, and everything about it was new to me. The team at Absolute Rentals made everything incredibly easy, provided excellent, personalised advice, and gave me confidence that I would be well looked after as the property owner. A large reason for choosing Absolute Rentals was the positive reviews I had read from both an owner and tenant perspective – and they have consistently exceeded my expectations. Their processes are also clear and efficient. Olivia has been quick to respond, friendly, and incredibly helpful every step of the way, I am very grateful for her. I would have no hesitation recommending Absolute Rentals.

As first time landlords, Kelly Johnston at Absolute Rentals has been fantastic to deal with. Her communication has been thorough and responsive, and her dedication to helping us navigate some challenging situations has been second to none. We couldn’t recommend her more highly as a property manager.

I have been in a few rentals and the care and promptness as property managers are outstanding. I feel safe as a renter with Wade and his team. Fast quick maintenance when it arises. They become family. They make inspections work for both parties. We have never felt like a number or another file on their list of tenants. I have been with them a number of years. Absolutely love them!

Our property manager, Olivia, made the whole moving in process such a breeze and she is such a pleasure to deal with. We feel safe and secure that as renters, we too are being well looked after. Thank you Olivia and the team at Absolute Rentals!

The team at Absolute Rentals go above and beyond for their service for looking after their customers. I wasn’t successful in one house but they kept me in mind and went out of their way to notify me when there was another home that came up. They really take good care of their team and their customers. The process was easy and not complicated like other rental companies out there. Strongly recommend to come through Absolute Rentals.
