Private landlords are responsible for ensuring the safety of their tenants. However, some fail to do so, putting their tenants in danger as a result.
The latest Regulations require landlords to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested by a person who is qualified and competent, at an interval of at least every 5 years. Landlords have to provide a copy of the electrical safety report to their tenants, and to their local authority if requested.
This means that all landlords now have to make sure the electrical installations in their rented properties are safe. The Regulations came into force on 1 June 2020 to improve safety in all residential premises and particularly in the private rented sector.
