Megan Burney from RPM presented to the Hawkes Bay Property Investors meeting on 21 June 2021on the Residential Tenancies (Healthy Homes Standards) Regulations 2019. Megan covered the why, when and what investors need to do to comply and how they can go about getting their rental properties healthy homes compliant under the Regulations. She also outlined where some landlords go wrong and gave helpful hints.

With the number of enquiries for tenancies at the moment getting close to 250, property managers really have to be ruthless when the look at potential tenants. Megan Burney has put together her 10 steps to a successful tenancy to help tenants looking for a new home.

Considering selling your rental property as it is just getting too hard. Compliance is too cumbersome, non-deductibility of interest stretching you too thin and your rights as an owner are being diminished in favour of the tenant. Well reconsider, look at getting a property manager instead, they can handle all the compliance, bring your rent up to market value, reduce costs and increase yields and manage your tenants so that things are stacked in your favour not the tenants.
