Answer 15 questions grouped under the five standards. Answers stay in a short-lived secure browser cookie.

Moisture & drainage

Answer from what you know. Choose Unsure if you need to check records or inspect the property.

Do gutters, downpipes and drainage efficiently remove stormwater and surface water from the property?
Does the property have an enclosed subfloor space?
If there is an enclosed subfloor, is a ground moisture barrier installed where required? Choose Not applicable if there is no enclosed subfloor.

This self-check is a guide, not a compliance assessment or legal advice. Your answers stay in a short-lived secure browser cookie until you clear them or they expire.

Healthy Homes compliance - common questions

What is landlord compliance software?
Software that helps landlords meet their legal obligations. In New Zealand that means the Healthy Homes Standards and the Residential Tenancies Act: it tracks each standard, stores evidence, generates the required compliance statements, and reminds you before deadlines.
What are the five Healthy Homes Standards?
Heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping. Every residential tenancy must meet all five, with a signed compliance statement provided to tenants.
How is RentManager different from a compliance-only tool?
RentManager covers Healthy Homes and RTA workflows alongside rent matching, arrears, bond records, inspections and tribunal case preparation. It provides income and expense summaries to help prepare IR3R figures; review the classifications and source records with your accountant. Core application data is hosted in AWS Auckland, with limited processing by other providers as described on Data and security.
Is the self-check legal advice?
No. The self-check is an informational guide to help you see where to focus. For the authoritative requirements see tenancy.govt.nz, and keep dated records and a signed compliance statement for each tenancy.
