NZ Healthy Homes Hygrometer — Landlord Damp Check (Digital Display)

A simple digital hygrometer for landlords and homeowners who want to know what the humidity in a room is actually doing — not guess from how it feels. Sit it in a bedroom, living room or hallway, leave it for a few hours, and read the indoor humidity and temperature off the display.

What landlords use it for

• Spot-checking damp-prone rooms between tenancies or before an inspection.
• Backing up a maintenance note with a reading and a date instead of "felt damp".
• Checking whether extract fans and ventilation are making a measurable difference.
• Showing tenants a number when heating and airing habits come up.

What it is

• Digital display showing relative humidity and temperature.
• Battery-powered, stands on a shelf or sits on a windowsill.
• Small enough to move room to room during a check.

What it is not

This is a consumer-grade indicator, not a calibrated instrument. It is not a Healthy Homes assessment, not a building report, and not evidence of compliance on its own. The Healthy Homes Standards set requirements for heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress and drainage, and draught stopping — check Tenancy Services for what applies to your property, and use a qualified assessor or builder where one is needed.

Pricing, GST and shipping

Listed price excludes GST; GST is added at checkout. This is a physical item, so shipping is calculated at checkout and delivery times apply. Not NZ-made — it is imported and shipped to you.

Keep the readings with the rest of your paperwork

A reading is only useful if you can find it again in April. The NZ Landlord Compliance Kit (NZ$99, excl. GST) gives you Healthy Homes, bond and IR3R registers to log checks against each property; the NZ Landlord Pack (NZ$39, excl. GST) is the lighter starting point. Both are instant downloads.
