Helping Landlords Meet Healthy Homes Standards with Confidence in Invercargill & Southland

The Healthy Homes Standards are a set of minimum requirements that all rental properties in New Zealand must meet. At Aggerholm’s Property Management, we help landlords in Invercargill and Southland understand, meet, and maintain full Healthy Homes compliance so their rental properties remain safe, warm, and legally compliant.

Whether you’re a new landlord or managing an established investment property, our team provides practical guidance and ongoing support to ensure your property meets all Healthy Homes requirements.

What Are The Healthy Homes Standards?

The Healthy Homes Standards introduce minimum requirements for rental properties in five key areas:

Heating

Rental properties must have qualifying heating in the main living area capable of adequately warming the room.

Insulation

Ceiling and underfloor insulation must meet minimum standards where required.

Ventilation

Rental homes must include opening windows and extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms to reduce moisture and improve airflow.

Moisture & Drainage

Properties must have efficient drainage systems and appropriate ground moisture barriers where necessary.

Draught Stopping

Landlords are required to address unreasonable draughts that may affect warmth and comfort within the property.
