Healthy Homes: Significant heating problem found as standards take effect Charlie Dreaver © RNZ / Dom Thomas
The government s admitted to a significant problem with one part of the Healthy Homes Standards, the day they come into effect.
It relates to the heating landlords have to install in apartments and new builds.
As of today, private landlords must ensure their rental properties comply with the standards within 90 days of any new tenancy.
There s been a major problem with the heating assessment - resulting in landlords buying heat pumps and heaters that are too large for the property.
The government s had two years to sort out the details, but now the responsible minister s been told there s a problem with the way properties are assessed for heating, and it should be changed.
