Housing Improvement Branch
The Housing Improvement Branch (HIB) operates
under the Housing Improvement Act (1940) and
inspects private rental properties that have been
reported as being of a poor or unsafe standard.
If a property is reported to HIB they will:
• inspect the property and make a list of
any defects
• send a letter to interested parties that will
list all defects at the property that need to
be repaired or the property may be declared
sub-standard.
If the defects are not satisfactorily rectified within
the prescribed time, a rent fix may be applied to
the property.
