We’re leading the way in Healthy Homes Compliance. We have 90% of our clients either fully compliant or awaiting jobs to be completed to be compliant. We are committed to achieve 92% compliance by March 31st
This means our tenant clients are feeling the full benefit of this legislation early. It also means our owners are not at risk of non-compliance. It means that our properties are of a higher standard and more desirable when in becomes time to re-tenant them. We think all of this hard work is paying off and it’s another WIN-WIN-WIN for us!
Oct 20, 2021 | Let's do this
Any new tenancies or renewed tenancies that commenced after 1st July 2021 have 90 days to become fully compliant for Healthy Homes. For properties that are brand new to the rental market, owners had to obtain a healthy homes assessment, obtain the quotes required to become compliant and then book the contractors in to do the work. In a 3 month timeline, this is already a challenge for some, however throwing a 5 week L4 lockdown into the mix made it almost an impossible tasks for property owners.
We hope that the Government listens to the wise words from Joanne Rae – Head of Property Management at REINZ and applies the same logic to our industry as to the car industry by extending Healthy Homes compliance just as they extended the WOF compliance.
