Healthy Housing Codes

The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), along with the National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH), have collected state landlord-tenant codes that address health concerns in housing.


These healthy housing codes set the minimum standards for rental property and assigns specific duties for landlords and tenants, and to a certain extent, private housing. The codes have been categorized into energy efficiency; home safety and security from crime; moisture and weatherproofing; notices and disclosures; occupancy and access; pest control and extermination; smoke and carbon monoxide alarm codes.
