Healthy Homes Inspections

Ensuring healthy homes compliance has never been easier

From 1 July 2025, all rental properties must comply with the Government’s healthy homes standards, which establish minimum requirements for rental properties for heating, insulation, ventilation, draught stopping and moisture ingress and drainage.  

Landlords must ensure their rental properties meet these standards on an ongoing basis. If a property is non-compliant, the tenant can apply to the Tenancy Tribunal for a monetary order and/or a work order and the Tribunal may award a financial penalty of up to $4,000 against the landlord.

The AA Home healthy homes inspection service, conducted by Betta Property Compliance, is designed to help property owners know whether their rental property meets the regulations. The comprehensive report includes a traffic light rating for each area plus supporting photographs, areas for improvement, and any work required to ensure compliance. Once the property complies with the healthy home standards, a certificate of compliance will be provided.
