Walk through the five standards, attach evidence, keep every finalised edition and start a fresh review each year—for every rental you manage. Property facts generate conservative rule prompts, and a new, renewed or varied tenancy adds the landlord-signed statement step.
Photo proof · VentilationWatch a landlord add a property, work through the five standards, take section photos, record major work, complete the signed new-tenancy step and create a photo-backed landlord report.
Each photo, document and update stays with the section and dated edition it supports. Finalised editions remain read-only, so the next review records what changed without erasing the past.
Add the address and basic property facts. The app shows conservative prompts for climate zone, consent date and dwelling type, then walks you through each of the five Healthy Homes standards.
In-property walkthroughOpen a standard and use Take photo on your phone, or upload an existing file. The evidence is linked to that exact section rather than dropped into one confusing folder.
Example photo evidenceA new roof, heat pump, extractor, insulation, drainage or window replacement becomes a dated update. Add before-and-after photos, the contractor or supplier, invoices, warranties and any consent records you hold, then re-check every affected standard.
Maintenance updateReview the five standards, finalise the dated edition and generate an organised landlord-prepared audit pack. For a new, renewed or varied tenancy agreement, complete the current official statement, sign it separately as landlord, upload the signed PDF and include it with the agreement or written change.

The app keeps the five Healthy Homes standards together, while separating duties that come from other rules. That distinction matters when a landlord signs a compliance statement.
Compliance is ongoing. Tenancy Services recommends checking the relevant items during regular inspections and at tenancy end. The yearly edition is a useful evidence habit, not a substitute for those checks.
Heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping. The app’s statutory verdict uses only these five areas.
A separate continuous duty. The app prompts location, type, replacement date and test evidence without calling smoke alarms a sixth Healthy Homes standard.
Requires landlords to meet applicable building, health and safety requirements. New, renewed and varied tenancy agreements need the separately landlord-signed Healthy Homes statement with current-level information. The current official template also includes the intent-to-comply statement.
Healthy Homes is not proof of lawful residential use, consent, structural safety, weathertightness, plumbing, electrical safety, pool safety or every council requirement. The app signposts these for follow-up.
One account can create unlimited Healthy Homes property records and unlimited dated editions. No per-property fee and no subscription.
The law and Tenancy Services guidance outrank any software prompt. Each edition keeps the guidance version used at the time.
All rental properties have had to comply since 1 July 2025 unless an exemption applies. See Tenancy Services: Healthy homes compliance and the current Regulations.
A new, renewed or varied tenancy agreement must include the separately landlord-signed statement recording the property’s current level of Healthy Homes compliance. The current Tenancy Services template also contains the required intent-to-comply statement. Signing the tenancy agreement or written change itself is not the same signature. The app uses the current combined form for one consistent workflow: complete it, sign it as landlord, upload the signed PDF and include it with the agreement or written change. Always use the current Tenancy Services compliance statement.
Tenancy Services says installed items must remain in good working order and recommends checks during regular inspections and at tenancy end. See Keeping your property up to standard.
The Healthy Homes rules are minimum rental standards, not a whole-building approval. Rental homes must also meet applicable building, health and safety requirements. See Tenancy Services: laws and bylaws.
