Manawatū Property Investors' Association president Pauline Beissel said smaller landlords in particular will struggle to meet the standards in time. ​Manawatū landlords warn the healthy home standards deadlines will be harder to meet than the Government expects. The Government's healthy home standards, announced this week, set minimum standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage in residential rental properties. Private landlords have until July 2021 to ensure their properties can meet the standards within 90 days of a new tenancy. Adding to landlords' difficulty meeting the new requirements was the fact they'd just shelled out to meet now super-seeded insulation standards this year.
