When looking at a new home, especially if you have never rented or owned a home before, it can be difficult to know what to look for. The Healthy Homes checklist can help you decide whether a potential new home would be a healthy place to live. It can also be used to check a home that you already live in. The checklist is a quick breakdown of some of the most important factors in making sure a home promotes good health and prevents accidents, injuries, or illness.
