Survey & Inspection Apps for Landlords in New Zealand
New Zealand landlords now let under a clear set of condition requirements. Since 1 July 2025, all private rentals must comply with the Healthy Homes Standards, which cover heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping. Two of those — ventilation and moisture ingress and drainage — sit squarely in the damp and mould domain.
The Healthy Homes Standards
New Zealand's cool, damp winters make condensation and indoor moisture a common problem, particularly in older, poorly insulated homes. Documenting ventilation provision and moisture conditions against the standards — with dated evidence — is now part of routine letting.
Use NZD for cost schedules and repair allowances. Homestar can provide residential sustainability context, while the Healthy Homes Standards remain the relevant rental-property reference for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping.
How our apps help New Zealand landlords
ProSurvey Apps builds two native, offline-first tools. Both record EXIF-verified capture timestamps on every photo and generate branded PDF reports on the device, with no signal needed.
1. DampApp Pro — ventilation & moisture evidence
On-device dew-point and psychrometric analysis and structured moisture notes to record conditions against the ventilation and moisture-ingress areas of the standards.
2. PropertySurvey Pro — condition records
Room-by-room condition logging for pre-tenancy and ongoing inspections, with consistent ratings across every property.
3. Offline reliability and cloud sync
Both apps run fully offline for fieldwork and reporting, then sync across your devices when online. A configurable template builder and AI report wording speed up documentation.
4. Part of a worldwide shift
New Zealand's Healthy Homes Standards sit alongside a broader move toward enforceable rental housing-condition standards, including the UK's Renters' Rights Act 2025.
