The Healthy Homes Standards officially became law on 1 July 2019 and introduced specific and minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping in rental properties.The Standards have been created to improve the quality of rental properties, making them healthier and safer for tenants, and making it easier for them to keep their homes warm and dry for their families.
