Kia ora Sarah Bierre,
 
On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 13/11/2024 requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following:
I would like to understand current data on the number of landlords in NZ.

1. How many current bonds are lodged?
2. Can I have the breakdown of number of bonds lodged per landlord? e.g
How many have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-9, 10-14 15-19, 20+
3. I would like to exclude public and community housing.  If this is not
possible, please include these landlords in a separate category: Kāinga
Ora, Salvation Army, Te Āhuru Mōwai, Accessible properties, Te Toi Mahana,
Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (OCHT), TRC (Tāmaki Regeneration
Company).
4. What percentage of the total number of private rentals in NZ are owned
by landlords that own 2+ and 3+ properties? (This could use bond data).
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 11/12/2024, being 20 working days after the day your request
was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of that timeframe. If you have any enquiries
regarding your request feel free to contact us via email to
