With the new minimum housing standards coming into effect from September 2024, landlords must ensure their properties meet specific safety, security, and functionality criteria. This includes having functional latches on windows and doors, ensuring all fixtures and fittings are in good repair, and making sure the property is weatherproof and structurally sound. Landlords should conduct thorough inspections, prioritize necessary upgrades, and budget for these improvements. By proactively addressing these requirements, landlords can avoid potential fines and enhance the living conditions for their tenants.
