Landlord Certificates
As a landlord, you are responsible for the safety of your tenants. The Gas Safety
(Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 deal with landlords' duties to make sure
gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for tenants are safe.
You are responsible for the maintenance and repair of flues, appliances and pipework
which you own and have provided for your tenants use by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Although there is no prescribed timeframe for these duties, good practice would be the
demonstration of regular, annual maintenance checks and subsequent repairs.
You are also responsible for ensuring an annual gas safety check is carried out
within 12 months of the installation of a new appliance or flue which you provide
and annually thereafter by a Gas Safe Registered engineer.
You must keep a record of the safety check for 2 years and issue a copy to each existing tenant within 28
days of the check being completed and issue a copy to any new tenants before they move in.
We are Gas Safe registered and are able to provide you have a Landlord Gas
Safe Certificate on any properties which require the service.
