How do we check Rugby World Cup visitors out so that we don't end up with hooligans?

Obviously, if it's just a room then you'll be there to supervise :-) If you’re renting your house for the Rugby World Cup, we recommend that you:

• Ask for references from previous landlords. If they already own their own place, hopefully they're moved past the hooligan stage.
• Also, make sure that you notify your insurance company that you won't be the owner occupant for the Rugby World Cup rental period.
• Get a decent bond from the tenants (two weeks at least upfront).
• Talk to Richard from Holland and Holland lawyers for legal advice on Rugby World Cup accommodation rentals and any additional legal precautions that you could take.

What should I rent my Rugby World Cup accommodation for?

You could look on Trade Me NZ auction site to see what similar rooms / houses rent for, or it could be on a negotiation basis. Houses rented for the football world cup in SA seem to be getting 3 to 4 times their normal weekly rent, so bear that in mind.
