Signing the tenancy is not the end of the paperwork. Agree who will submit it for stamping, who pays, and how both parties receive proof.
What to have ready
Before you start
Duty depends on the term, rent, and document arrangements, and late stamping may attract penalties. IRD stamping does not determine whether the terms are fair or replace housing and tenancy regulation.
What to do, step by step
- Check current IRD guidance for the deadline, calculation, and copies relevant to the execution circumstances.
- Choose an eligible electronic or other channel and check the term and monetary details carefully.
- Pay as directed and save proof that matches the agreement and property.
- Give the other party a copy. Recheck requirements for a renewal, variation, or new agreement.
Costs, timing, and things to check
If late, check the official late-stamping arrangements; do not alter execution dates.
Successful submission and completed payment can be separate stages. Retain the final stamping evidence.
Keep the agreement, payment record, and stamping proof together.
