Hiring a healthy homes assessor in Auckland

Does a landlord have to use a healthy homes assessor?

No. Every rental must comply with the healthy homes standards, and new or renewed tenancy agreements must include a compliance statement. Tenancy Services says landlords can use a professional to assess the property, but the statement must be made and signed by the landlord or an agent such as a property manager, not by the assessor.

What should a healthy homes assessment report include?

A useful report covers each standard (heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, draught stopping), the measurements or calculations behind each finding, photos, and a clear list of work needed. Ask whether the heating calculation uses the Tenancy Services tool or a specialist assessment, because the compliance statement must say which.

Is a healthy homes assessment the same as a building inspection?

No. A healthy homes assessment checks a rental against specific tenancy standards. A pre-purchase building inspection looks at the condition of the whole building. Some inspection businesses offer both, but they answer different questions.
