Standard 1 of 5 — Heating 0% complete

Standard 1 of 5 — Heating

Heating

Landlords must provide a fixed heater in the main living room that is capable of maintaining a temperature of at least 18°C. The heater must meet a minimum heating capacity (kW) calculated from the room's size and heat loss.

Does your main living room have a fixed heater?

Standard 2 of 5 — Insulation

Insulation

Rental properties must have ceiling insulation across the entire ceiling area, and underfloor insulation in all accessible subfloor spaces. Both must meet minimum R-value requirements set by the Healthy Homes Standards.

Does the property have ceiling insulation across the full ceiling area?

Is the ceiling insulation in good condition? (No significant gaps, damage, or areas where it has been removed)

Does the property have underfloor insulation (where there is an accessible subfloor space)?

Standard 3 of 5 — Ventilation

Ventilation

All habitable rooms must have openable windows or skylights. Kitchens must have a rangehood or extractor fan that vents directly outside. Each bathroom and toilet must also have an extractor fan that vents to outside — recirculating fans do not comply.

Do all habitable rooms (bedrooms, living areas) have openable windows or skylights?

Does the kitchen have a rangehood or extractor fan that vents directly outside?

Do all bathrooms and toilets have extractor fans that vent directly outside?

Standard 4 of 5 — Moisture & Drainage

Moisture & Drainage

Properties must have an efficient drainage system. Where there is an enclosed subfloor, a ground moisture barrier (minimum 0.012mm polythene) must be installed to prevent moisture rising from the ground.

Does the property have an enclosed subfloor space (not a concrete slab)?

Is there a ground moisture barrier (polythene sheet) installed across the subfloor?

Are there signs of moisture, dampness, or water pooling inside the property or in the subfloor?

Are the gutters, downpipes, and surface drainage all working effectively?

Standard 5 of 5 — Draught Stopping

Draught Stopping

Landlords must block gaps and holes that allow unreasonable draughts — including unused fireplaces and chimneys, gaps in walls, floors and ceilings, and doors or windows that no longer close properly.

Are there any unused fireplaces or chimneys in the property?

Are there visible gaps or holes in walls, floors, or ceilings that let in draughts?

Do all exterior doors and windows close properly and seal reasonably well?
