How to Leave Your Body Corporate Manager in NZ

Rising fees and slow service lead many body corporates to manage themselves. Here's how to make the switch smoothly.

Check the contract

Read the manager's agreement for notice periods and termination terms. A general meeting resolution is usually needed.

Get the records

Request the body corporate's records, financials, bank details, the long-term maintenance plan, insurance and the operational rules before the handover date.

Set up self-management

Confirm the chairperson and committee, open or transfer the bank account, and set up levy collection and reminders.
