Healthy Homes Standards (HHS) Resource Centre

The standards create specific and minimum requirements for all rental properties in respect of heating, insulation, ventilation, draught stopping, moisture ingress and drainage. Landlords must ensure they are aware of the requirements around each standard to prevent the risk of future penalties.

This resource centre will help inform and provide you with the education you need to stay compliant.

2019 Insulation Minimum Requirements: are you compliant?
From 1 July 2019, it will be compulsory for all rental properties to meet the new minimum insulation requirements. All landlords should check that the insulation at their properties meets the standards and take action if necessary before the new requirements become compulsory.
