Landlords have specific legal responsibilities to their tenants when it comes to gas safety
- If you are a landlord letting a property equipped with gas appliances you need to understand and comply with the law relating to gas safety.
- If you let a property, you must make sure that pipe work, appliances and flues provided for tenants are maintained in a safe condition. You need to have a gas safety check every year. A Gas Safe registered engineer must carry out the safety check in your properties. You must give your tenants a copy of the gas safety record within 28 days of it being carried out or before they move in.
- You should also make sure your tenants know where to turn off the gas and what to do in the event of a gas emergency.
- As a landlord, you are legally responsible for making sure that a Gas Safe registered engineer checks the gas appliances in your rental properties every 12 months and gives you copies of the gas safety records.
- When your Gas Safe registered engineer has checked the gas appliances in your rental property they will give you a gas safety record. This record confirms the gas appliances have been checked and are safe.
- You must give your tenant a copy of these gas safety records within 28 days of the checks being done, or give a copy of the gas safety record to a new tenant before they move in.
- You must keep a record of each safety check for two years.
