New Orleans Landlords Required to Certify Rental Properties by 2025 Under Healthy Homes Ordinance

Landlords are reminded that becoming certified is not an option, but a necessity in the new year as New Orleans prepares for the last stage of its Healthy Homes Certification Program. According to the City of New Orleans’ official website, landlords of one to three unit properties operating inside Orleans Parish will be required to maintain a Certificate of Compliance under the Healthy Homes Ordinance as of January 1, 2025.

This requirement seeks to prioritize the well-being of tenants in line with the city’s commitment to standards for livable rental properties. All rental properties must fulfill the requirements in order to be certified, which indicates adherence to these standards. The City of New Orleans announced that landlords should be aware that the last registration phase will start on January 1, 2025, and that all rental properties in the city that are currently in operation must have a Certificate of Compliance by the end of this phase. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of the city code and could be enforced.

The process’s accessibility provides a reprieve for property owners. Through the OneStopApp, certification applications can be submitted online. To promote compliance and lessen the administrative load on landlords, the City of New Orleans has simplified the procedure.

Additionally, several training sessions will be held by the City of New Orleans Healthy Homes administration prior to the registration opening. Beginning in December, these in-person and online workshops are intended to help rental property owners comprehend the new standards. On the Healthy Homes administration website, landlords and property managers who would like to be updated on these opportunities can sign up for notifications about the training sessions and other information.
