Your investment property is your nest egg, so conforming to recent updates in the residential tenancies act not only ensures the comfort and safety of your tenants and the efficiency of your investment, but also has a positive impact on your tenant retention and overall health of your investment.

 

The Residential Tenancies Act defines the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants of residential properties, and must comply with all requirements in respect of smoke alarms imposed on the landlord by regulations made under section 138A; and if the tenancy is an income-related rent tenancy, comply with all requirements in respect of insulation imposed on the landlord by regulations made under section 138B

For further details – http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/1986/0120/latest/DLM95099.html .


So, with this in mind, Let G-Force We Install professionals perform an inspection to put your mind at ease. If you are not too sure whether the RTA applies to you, and whether you need new insulation and/or smoke alarms, you can refer to Section 45; Landlord’s Responsibilities and Sections 138A 138B of the RTA.

 

G-Force We Install advise that not every home need’s a full insulation install, as every home is different. In most cases, your investment property can be brought to RTA standard by ‘topping up’ or retrofitting the current insulation in your home or investment property. A suitable R-Rated product for your home can be identified by We Install’s assessors while at your home or investment property.

 

Depending on your property, flooring will differ whether you need flooring insulation, it is already installed, or your type of flooring doesn’t require any. Suspended floors do not come insulated as standard, Solid concrete floors can be installed as a layer directly underneath the flooring and most modern houses incorporate slabs of polystyrene insulation a few inches below the concrete floor surface and additional insulation is not required.


Depending on your individual circumstances, you may be able to have a positive impact on the sustainability and longevity of your underfloor insulation by having our team of experts install a simple and cost effective vapour barrier further improving the thermal performance of your insulation. Finally, G-Force We Install performs all installations in accordance with NZS 4246:2006.
