National's housing spokesperson Judith Collins says new rules requiring landlords to insulate and heat rental homes will hurt tenants, not help them. The National Party's housing spokeswoman, Judith Collins, says the Government's new standards for rental homes are an attack on landlords. From mid-2021, private landlords must ensure their rental properties comply with the healthy home standards within 90 days of any new tenancy. GETTY IMAGES Judith Collins says that landlords are going to be forced to rise their rents on residential properties. Referring to the Butler's comments about the 1978 insulation standards, Twyford said insulation didn't last 40 years.
