This type of agreement is a service tenancy – you are the landlord, and your employee is the tenant. All service tenancies need a written tenancy agreement and any bond collected must be lodged with Tenancy Services. Even if the tenant doesn’t pay rent, it’s still a service tenancy.

To obtain a property to use for a service tenancy, you could enter a lease under the Property Law Act 2007 for a property with the intention of providing that property for your employees to live in.
