Healthy Homes Standards
On the 1st of July 2019, the government implemented the Residential Tenancies (Healthy Homes Standards) Regulations 2019 which introduced specific and minimum standards around 5 key areas of a rental property: Heating, Insulation, Ventilation, Moisture and Drainage, and Draught Stopping. Please see the link below.
As from 1 December this year, it will be a requirement to include a Statement of Current Level of Compliance for any new, varied, or renewed tenancy agreement. This Statement outlines exactly how the property currently complies and where it ‘fails’, and what steps will be taken to ensure compliance before the deadline of 1 July 2021.
If you have a rental and need help with any of these new requirements please call Andrew on 0274888933.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
