Regulation for property managers and meth tests

On top of that, the Healthy Homes Standards deadline for private landlords has been pushed out from July 2024 to July 2025 ,and July next year to July 2024 for Kainga Ora.

“Nearly 600,000 households rent in New Zealand and these measures will result in regulated oversight of residential property managers, science-based rules on meth residue testing and a reprieve for landlords in meeting a compliance deadline,” says Woods.

The Government is aiming to introduce a bill to Parliament by the middle of next year.

The new regulations property managers and property management companies will have to meet include compulsory registration and a licence, a fit and proper person test, a training course before entering the job, undergoing continuing professional development, practice standards and a complaints and disciplinary process.
