Property managers and landlords have a legal obligation to ensure healthy and safe living conditions for tenants. The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) is the government’s framework for assessing property hazards and making sure that rental homes meet important health and safety standards.
Yuno’s HHSRS assessment services empower property professionals to identify and resolve property hazards to ensure full compliance with legal requirements. From pre-tenancy inspection to full property risk assessment, we simplify compliance.
An HHSRS assessment refers to an inspection process that is used to evaluate the health and safety risks of a rental property. This framework is used by local authorities to identify potential hazards that could affect tenants to ensure that all residential properties meet safety standards.
The HHSRS assessment looks at 29 categories of potential hazards, from trip-and-fall hazards and fire safety risks to water supply and sanitation issues. Each of the 29 hazards is scored based on severity. If a property is found to have serious hazards, then local authorities can take enforcement action that requires landlords to make necessary improvements.
There are serious legal and financial consequences that come with failing an HHSRS assessment, and landlords may be faced with:
HHSRS compliance is vital for avoiding fines and enforcement action as well as for protecting tenants’ well-being. With this in mind, Yuno helps landlords and property managers stay compliant by identifying risks early and providing guidance for resolving hazards efficiently.
