The system for certifying the new Health Homes Standards has been described as being like drivers issuing their own warrants of fitness. Since July 1st, all rental properties across the motu have been required to comply with the standards, which set minimum requirements for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage. Currently there is no certification required in order to complete an assessment, meaning nearly anyone can. It has prompted calls for an independent certification system, to ensure rentals are indeed healthy homes. Bella Craig reports.

There's concerns not all landlords will comply with the Healthy Homes standards set to kick in tomorrow. New rental compliance standards for heating, insulation, ventilation, and moisture in rental properties will come into effect from July 1. NZ Green Building Council CEO Andrew Eagles says it's likely a significant percentage of homes won't meet the standard by the deadline. "There's been an awful lot of assessments and work and I know that many are pushing to get it done in the final month, which is a real shame, because lots of people are booked up."

Tonight on The Huddle, Trish Sherson from Sherson Willis PR and Child Fund CEO Josie Pagani joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! The Healthy Homes standards are set to kick in tomorrow - do we see the Government enforcing these? The Government has recently released a string of new law and order announcements, the latest including tougher penalties for people who assault first responders and making 'coward punches' an offence. Do we agree with these changes? Ikea's consent conditions included cultural monitoring, karakia and other cultural ceremonies with mana whenua among other things. What do we make of these measures?

The deadline for rental properties to meet the Healthy Homes deadline is less than 24 hours away, and some properties are still not up to scratch. Betta Group CEO Matt Mason told Mike Hosking that although many proactive landlords have made the required changes, some have left it to the last minute. He says audits will be carried out and fines will be issued in the coming months to help enforce these regulation changes. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From tomorrow, all rental properties in New Zealand will have to meet the healthy home standards. The Healthy Homes Act brought in stricter rules around heating, insulation, ventilation and draft stopping. Despite the long notice period and extensions, Advocacy manager at the Property Investors Federation Matt Ball says some homes are still not up to standard. In a recent sample of 1000 homes, only 23% were found to be fully compliant. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On July 1st, a series of changes are due to be implemented by the Government – and some of them will have a direct impact on your day to day. Notably, all rental properties in New Zealand must comply with healthy home standards, six years after that became law under the Labour Government. One Labour law change hasn’t survived though – that Government’s blanket speed limit reducations must all be revered by Tuesday. Paid parental leave rates will also go up, while Jobseeker support clients must now reapply for their benefit every 26 weeks, rather than 52. And the Invest New Zealand agency designed to attract foreign investment is due to be set up by July 1st as well. It’ll also be easier for Kiwis to access contraceptives such as IUDs, nutrition replacements will be fully funded for adults with Crohn’s disease, an increase in some customs fees and good levies crossing the border, and a new legal requirement to keep records of the movement of raw milk on and off farm. First on The Front Page, NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson is with us to explain what healthy home standards actually look like. Later, we’ll dig into those more political changes and what they mean for you, with Newstalk ZB political reporter Azaria Howell.

Hi Mama, You're not just creating a home—you're shaping a legacy. In this episode, we explore why modern moms are turning to clean living as the new standard of luxury.

You know that the choices you make today—what you clean with, what touches your child's skin, what lingers in the air—shape more than your lifestyle. They shape your children. This episode is your reminder (and roadmap) that elevated, toxin-free living doesn't mean giving up style or comfort.

Send us a textYour home should be a sanctuary, but what if the air you're breathing is silently making you sick? In this eye-opening episode, Jim and Laura ("the office goddess") dive deep into the invisible threats lurking in your indoor air and provide practical solutions for creating a healthier home environment.Did you know we spend roughly 90% of our time indoors? That makes the quality of the air we breathe at home critically important. Those mysterious headaches, unexplained fatigue, and respiratory issues might not be stress or aging – they could be direct responses to chemical contaminants from everyday household items. The hosts reveal how those pleasant-smelling air fresheners, scented candles, and cleaning products contain undisclosed chemicals that manufacturers aren't legally required to reveal."A clean should not have an odor," Jim emphasizes, challenging our cultural association between artificial fragrances and cleanliness. The conversation takes a fascinating turn when exploring natural alternatives – from the simple joy of baking cinnamon rolls (which both freshens your air and feeds your family) to simmering spices like cinnamon and cloves on the stove. These practical, budget-friendly solutions protect your family while still creating a welcoming atmosphere.The discussion also addresses how new construction materials "off-gas" chemicals like formaldehyde, particularly dangerous in tightly-sealed modern homes with insufficient ventilation. Jim and Laura share real cases where families experienced serious health issues traced back to their indoor air quality, including a particularly concerning story about a new bed causing seizures in a child due to high formaldehyde levels.Whether you're dealing with unexplained health issues, planning a new home purchase, or simply want to create the healthiest possible environment for your family, this episode delivers actionable advice on ventilation, humidity control, natural cleaning alternatives, and professional testing options.

Instead of cleaning mold, he recommends removing contaminated materials and improving source control.For HVAC systems, Sean suggests keeping ductwork in conditioned space, using MERV 13+ filters, and installing a ventilating dehumidifier to maintain humidity below 50%. He warns against running HVAC fans continuously, as this can pull humid air into the system, worsening mold issues. He also recommends in-room HEPA filtration (isuch as IQAir or Austin Air) over whole-home air purifiers.They discuss (and advise against) gimmicky air purification methods like UV lights and ionizers, which can create harmful byproducts. Instead, homeowners should monitor IAQ with smart sensors, track humidity, and optimize their home's ventilation and filtration. Sean emphasizes "optimization over maximization"—cost-effective solutions like air sealing, replacing moldy ductwork, and using high-quality air filters rather than full HVAC overhauls.Both Matt & Sean encourage homeowners to prioritize practical, science-backed IAQ improvements for a healthier living environment.Thank you to episode sponsor Mbrico.
