Do you need confirmation that your rental properties comply with New Zealand’s Healthy Homes Standards? Do you want information on work that is required to bring your properties up to the required standard?
We can help at Panda Solutions with our Healthy Homes Assessment services. We have extensive experience providing this service to all types of landlords, from those with extensive portfolios to landlords with a single rental property.
Step-By-Step Process
If you own residential rental properties, you have a legal obligation to ensure they are compliant with New Zealand’s Healthy Homes Standards. These standards have been developed to ensure homes that people rent are warm and dry, so they are safe and healthy to live in.
The standards can be quite complex in many areas, but our Healthy Homes Assessment service brings detailed clarity. Our assessors have in-depth knowledge of the regulations to determine where there might be issues with your properties.
We’ll give you a report following the assessment with recommendations on the next steps to take.
Healthy housing in New Zealand must meet standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress, and drainage. These conditions help create a warm, dry, and safe living environment.
You can get a Healthy Home assessment by contacting an accredited assessor, such as Panda Solutions, who will inspect your property and provide recommendations for compliance with Healthy Homes Standards.
Double glazing is not mandatory under the Healthy Homes Standards, but it is recommended for improving insulation and reducing heat loss. Other forms of insulation, such as ceiling and underfloor, are required.
The Healthy Homes Act, formally part of the Residential Tenancies (Healthy Homes Standards) Regulations 2019, sets out minimum requirements for heating, insulation, and ventilation in rental properties to ensure they are safe and healthy for tenants.
