Handymen in Christchurch: Renters vs homeowners

For homeowners

You’re responsible for maintenance and small repairs in your property. If the job involves structural changes or gas/electrical safety, you’ll need a qualified specialist and sometimes certificates for insurance.

For renters

Landlords are usually responsible for major repairs. You may still want to hire a handyperson for small fixes that make life easier, but always check your tenancy agreement first. If it’s a repair your landlord must handle, report it before arranging the work yourself.
