Landlords

As a Landlord you have specific legal responsibilities to your tenants when it comes to gas safety.

Landlords letting out properties equipped with gas appliances need to understand and comply with the law relating to gas safety.

If you let a property, it is your duty of care to make sure that pipe work, appliances and flues provided for your tenants are maintained in a safe condition. You need to have a gas safety check every year. When your Gas Safe registered engineer has checked the gas appliances in your  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 are also obliged to show your tenants how they can turn off the gas supply in the event of a gas leak.

Remember, you must keep a record of each safety check for two years.
