Make Sure Your Rental Property Meets Healthy Homes Standards Before 1 July 2025!
The deadline for all rental properties in New Zealand to meet the Healthy Homes Standards (HHS) is coming up fast. From 1 July 2025, landlords who don’t comply could get fined up to $7,200 per property — and tenants might even take legal action.
If you manage your rental yourself, now’s a great time to get ahead and make sure everything’s up to scratch. The team at Azap Electrical can help you get compliant with no hassle.
What Are the Healthy Homes Standards?
These standards are all about making rental homes warmer, drier, and healthier. They cover five main things:
Heating: You need a fixed heater in the main living room that can keep it at least 18°C.
Insulation: The ceiling and underfloor need to be properly insulated to keep the heat in.
Ventilation: Rooms like the kitchen and bathroom need good airflow — think extractor fans and windows that open.
Moisture & Drainage: Proper drainage and moisture barriers are a must to keep things dry.
Draught Stopping: Any gaps or holes letting cold air in should be sealed up.
Why It’s Important
Staying on top of these rules not only helps you avoid fines, but it also keeps your property in better shape and your tenants happier — which means fewer headaches for you down the track.

Or just servicing what you already have
