myRent Alternative for Healthy Homes Compliance NZ
Quick question - are you reading this as a:
myRent does not track Healthy Homes Standards status against each property, so evidence tends to end up in a separate folder or email thread - a myRent alternative with compliance tracking built in keeps it attached to the tenancy record instead.
RentManager tracks Healthy Homes Standards status per property alongside the tenancy record, so the evidence is already where you need it if a tenant, a Tribunal claim, or an inspection ever asks for it.

Healthy Homes compliance is not optional, and the evidence for it needs to survive being asked for on short notice - a Tribunal hearing, a tenant query, or an inspection. myRent does not have a dedicated place for that evidence to live, so most landlords end up keeping it in a folder, an email thread, or nowhere at all.
What's a myRent alternative for tracking Healthy Homes compliance?
The RTA (as amended in 2024) requires every rental to meet the Healthy Homes Standards - heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping - and a landlord needs to be able to show that status on demand, not reconstruct it from memory. myRent's tools are built around tenancy documents and listings; compliance tracking sits outside that, which is exactly where records tend to get lost.
RentManager tracks Healthy Homes Standards status per property, tied to the same record as the tenancy, the rent ledger, and the bond. If a tenant asks, or a dispute reaches the Tenancy Tribunal, the evidence is already attached to the property, not scattered across a folder you have to search.
What actually needs to be on file?
- Ceiling and underfloor insulation - R-value, condition, and any exemption on record.
- Heating that meets the required capacity for the main living area.
- Ventilation, moisture, and drainage compliance for the property.
- Draught stopping around windows, doors, and unused chimneys.
- A signed Healthy Homes compliance statement attached to the tenancy agreement.
Keeping all five tied to the property record (rather than five separate documents in five separate places) is the difference between a five-minute answer and a stressful scramble when someone actually asks.
What else comes with RentManager's compliance side?
The same record also carries your inspection history and any bond evidence for the same tenancy, so a Tribunal claim can pull everything from one place instead of three. See the full pricing and feature comparison in our myRent side-by-side comparison.
