A record that grows with the property
Update it. Don’t overwrite it.
Finalised editions stay read-only. The next review starts from the last one, then asks you to confirm what is still true and record what changed.
Review at the right times
Use the annual reminder, and review sooner at regular inspections, tenancy end, after work or damage, or when a tenant reports an issue.
Sign for a tenancy
For a new, renewed or varied tenancy agreement, complete the current official statement with the property's current compliance details. Sign it as landlord, upload the signed PDF and include it with the agreement or written change. The current template also contains the required intent-to-comply statement.
Designed around the current framework
Healthy Homes is one layer of a lawful rental.
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.
No law says you need a new “annual certificate.”
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.
Healthy Homes Standards Regulations 2019
Heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping. The app’s statutory verdict uses only these five areas.
Smoke Alarms Regulations 2016
A separate continuous duty. The app prompts location, type, replacement date and test evidence without calling smoke alarms a sixth Healthy Homes standard.
Residential Tenancies Act 1986
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.
Building Act, Building Code and other rules
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.

Know what you are signing
Official sources stay one click away.
The law and Tenancy Services guidance outrank any software prompt. Each edition keeps the guidance version used at the time.
What must comply?
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.
What has to accompany a tenancy agreement?
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.
When should the property be checked again?
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.
How does the Building Code relate?
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.
