Listings show the home at its best. Photos are staged. Compliance is self-certified. ratemyflat is built so you can see what previous tenants actually found before you sign — and check the home against the five Healthy Homes Standards. ## How to find a home Use the search bar on the home page to look up any residential home in Aotearoa. * **By address:** The street number and name returns the most accurate result. Search is powered by LINZ (Land Information New Zealand) data, so every home is mapped to a real legal address. * **By suburb or city:** Browsing a new neighbourhood? Search by area to see homes with existing reviews or scores in that location. ## Understanding the home profile Every home has its own page. That page brings together what's known about the home's condition and the experience of past tenants. ### Healthy Homes Score The Healthy Homes Score is a measure of how well a rental meets the five legislated standards: heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture and drainage, and draught stopping. The profile shows a summary and how the home performs in each category. ### Tenant reviews Reviews come from people who have lived in the home. They cover heating, ventilation, insulation, draughts, and moisture — alongside what day-to-day life was like and the feel of the neighbourhood. ### Home detail panels Public panels show core facts: bedrooms, bathrooms, location. If the home has been claimed by a verified owner or property manager, you may also see additional photos and documents they've chosen to share. ## Accessing insights * **Visitors:** Anyone can view the Healthy Homes Score and read tenant reviews without signing in. * **Signed-in users:** A free account lets you contribute reviews and verify the homes you've lived in. ### The public view toggle If you've already reviewed a home (as a tenant) or you're a verified owner, the home's page opens in a "Private View" with extra management tools. To see exactly what the public sees, click **Public View** — this appends `?show_public=true` to the URL and shows the profile as a standard visitor would. Share your experience to help future tenants. The five standards every NZ rental must meet.
