Ensure Proper Ventilation with Trade Track’s Healthy Homes Compliance Services

Proper ventilation is an essential requirement under the Healthy Homes Standards, aimed at ensuring warm, dry, and healthy living environments in New Zealand rental properties. As a landlord, compliance with these standards is crucial not only to meet legal obligations but also to provide a better quality of life for tenants. At Trade Track, we specialize in helping property owners meet these requirements with expert ventilation solutions.

Ventilation Requirements under Healthy Homes Standards

To comply with the Healthy Homes Standards, rental properties must meet specific ventilation criteria:

• Openable Doors and Windows:
  Every bedroom, dining room, living room, lounge, and kitchen must have at least one door or window that opens to the outside. Skylights can also count as openable windows.

  • The total openable area must be at least 5% of the floor area in each room.
  • Doors and windows must be able to be securely fixed in the open position.

• Extractor Fans:

  • Kitchens: All kitchens must have an extractor fan that ventilates to the outside to remove moisture and cooking fumes.
  • Bathrooms: Bathrooms must have an externally ventilating extractor fan to prevent dampness and reduce condensation.

These measures help to reduce moisture levels, prevent mold and mildew growth, and promote better air quality within the home.
