Property Manager wants me to get the following report.
Am I expecting too much to get this kind of advice direct from property manager?
Is this Meth testing all over again?
Will it lead to a long list fix ups?
Healthy Homes Evaluation Report
$250.00
The healthy homes standards introduce specific and minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping in rental properties.
A Healthy Homes Evaluation Report will provide you with comprehensive detail on all minimum standard requirements and highlight to you any areas that are non-compliant. If any non-compliant issues are discovered the report will provide easy solutions to achieve compliance and once all the issues have been addressed, we will issue you with a Certificate of Compliance for your records.
As an added value, PropertySafe will also highlight any other high-risk life-threatening safety issues if present as part of the report for your consideration.
Description
What does the Healthy Homes standard require?
The Healthy Homes standards includes 5 categories that must be met:
Insulation:
The minimum level of ceiling and underfloor insulation must either meet the 2008 Building Code, or (for existing ceiling insulation) have a minimum thickness of 120mm and be in reasonable condition with no dampness, damage or displacement.
Ventilation & Extraction:
Ventilation must include openable windows in each habitable space. The windows must comprise at least 5% of the floor area of that space. An appropriately sized extraction fan or rangehood must be installed in rooms with a bath or shower or indoor cooktop.
Heating:
The main living room must have a fixed heating device that can heat the room to at least 18?C. The new regulations clarify the requirements for heating devices ? some will not meet the requirements under the heating standard as they are inefficient, unaffordable or unhealthy.
Draught Stopping:
Any gaps or holes in walls, ceilings, windows, floors and doors that cause unreasonable draughts must be remedied. This includes all unused open fireplaces and chimneys.
Moisture Ingress and drainage:
The standards reinforce the existing law which states that landlords must have adequate drainage and guttering. If a rental property has an enclosed subfloor space, it must have an on-ground moisture barrier, which will stop moisture rising into the home.
