If you're a landlord in New Zealand, time is running out.
From 1st July 2025, all rental properties must meet the full requirements of the Healthy Homes Standards, or risk facing fines and tenant complaints. These standards were put in place to ensure warm, dry, and healthy homes for tenants, and the compliance window is officially closing.
At QSPlus, we’ve seen a wave of last-minute inspections, and we’re here to help you avoid the rush (and the stress).
What Do the Healthy Homes Standards Cover?
Landlords must ensure their properties meet key criteria in the following areas:
Heating – A fixed heating source in the main living room
Insulation – Minimum ceiling and underfloor insulation
Ventilation – Extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms
Moisture Ingress & Drainage – Efficient guttering and drainage systems
Draught Stopping – No unreasonable gaps or draughts
Even if you've had your property assessed in the past, changes to tenancy or renovations may require a fresh check.
Why Act Now?
Penalties for non-compliance are costly
Tenants are more informed than ever
It’s part of being a responsible property owner
You’ll protect the value and condition of your asset
Our Healthy Homes inspections are thorough, efficient, and designed to give you everything you need for peace of mind, including a full compliance report and clear recommendations.
