Am I Healthy Homes compliant?
All private rentals have had to meet the five Healthy Homes standards since 1 July 2025, and you have to be able to show it. Work through the list and see where the gaps are.
0 of 0 confirmed
Heating
A fixed heater in the main living room that can reach 18°C on its own.
Insulation
Ceiling and underfloor insulation meeting the 2008 standard, or the minimum thickness.
Ventilation
Openable windows in habitable rooms, and extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms.
Moisture ingress & drainage
Efficient drainage, and a ground moisture barrier where there is an enclosed subfloor.
Draught stopping
Unreasonable gaps and holes in walls, floors, windows and doors closed off.
What you have to be able to produce
Meeting the standards isn't enough on its own — the records are what prove it if a tenant, an insurer or the Tribunal asks.
