How Southland's climate shows up in a clean

NIWA says Southland gets less sunshine on average than the rest of the country, its temperatures are lower, and frost and snow come relatively often. Strong winds are common around Foveaux Strait, lighter inland.

The 2023 Census counted 14.8% of Southland homes as damp at least sometimes, and 10.6% with mould over A4 size sometimes or always. The Southland Warm Homes Trust has put insulation and heating into over 10,000 Southland and West Otago homes since 2008. Even in a warm house, short winter days leave less time for a mopped floor to dry, so plan cleans with the heating on.

Moving out cleaning in Southland

In 28.5% of the region's households, the home is neither owned nor held in a family trust (2023 Census). When a tenancy ends, the standard is reasonably clean and tidy with your things and rubbish out, and you can do it yourself. The bond and tenancy rules cover the bond and Bond Hub.
