When a property in Auranga changes hands or is rented out, the ARA needs a few things from you so its member records stay accurate.

When you buy a property in Auranga you automatically become a member of the Association. Immediately after settlement, email the following to [email protected]
- A signed copy of the Deed of Covenant, with all details completed.

- Contact ARA – [email protected]
- Confirm you will cover the legal fee for preparing the ownership transfer, and provide: the legal name of the purchasing entity, a copy of the property title, and the property’s official address.

- If you use a letting agent, make sure they know the Constitution & Bylaws and can explain them briefly to tenants.
