The Healthy Homes Standards were introduced to ensure rental properties in New Zealand are warm, dry, safe, and comfortable for tenants. These standards form part of the Healthy Homes Guarantees Act, which places clear legal obligations on landlords to keep their rental properties compliant at all times.
Compliance is not optional. Landlords who fail to meet the Healthy Homes requirements may face significant financial penalties, compensation orders to tenants, and potential legal action at the Tenancy Tribunal. Non-compliance can also increase insurance risk and result in further costs if issues are not addressed quickly. Keeping your property up to standard protects your investment, keeps tenants safe and happy, reduces vacancy, and ensures you remain fully compliant under the law.
At Yellow Group Property Management, we make Healthy Homes compliance simple and stress-free. We complete a full Healthy Homes Assessment free of charge for every managed property, giving you a detailed understanding of what is required to meet the standards. If any work is needed, we will arrange trusted, qualified tradespeople and manage the entire process from start to finish.
Healthy Homes is not a one-off obligation—compliance must be maintained over time, and failing to keep the property in good condition can result in it slipping out of compliance. We assist with ongoing monitoring, regular inspections, maintenance coordination, and updates to ensure your property remains compliant year after year.
Your peace of mind is our priority. We take care of everything so your property stays warm, dry, legally compliant, and protected.
