NEW ORLEANS - The City of New Orleans today reminds all landlords of one-to-three-unit rental properties operating in Orleans Parish to apply for the Healthy Homes Certificate of Compliance beginning Jan. 1, 2025. Certification is a requirement of the Healthy Homes Ordinance.

The Healthy Homes Program aims to ensure that all rental properties meet essential habitability standards in the City of New Orleans to protect tenants.

Jan. 1, 2025, begins the third and final phase of registration. At the close of this registration period, all rental owners are expected to have a Certificate of Compliance in order to operate rental properties in the City of New Orleans. Failure to obtain a certificate is a violation of City code and subject to enforcement. All rentals must be registered. In addition. renewal is required every two years.

Property owners can complete the application process to obtain a Certificate of Compliance online via the OneStopApp. The deadline for registration has been extended to May 1, 2025. Property owners are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to prevent a backlog of applications.

Property owners with a current, valid Certificate of Compliance are not required to renew certification until 2026.
