If you're a landlord, you are required by law to conduct a gas safety inspection of your property once a year. All landlords have a legal duty under the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998 to maintain all appliances and flues that have been provided for their tenants and to have them checked once a year.
One of the most important landlord's responsibilities is the gas safety inspection, because breakdown of a gas appliance such as a boiler or cooker can lead to carbon monoxide leaks, which can be lethal. By law, a landlord is responsible for any gas appliances provided for use by the tenant(s).
You are not liable for the safety of any gas appliances owned by the tenant, although you do carry responsibility for parts of the associated installation and pipe work.
Landlords are bound by legal responsibilities to ensure their tenants are kept safe. Failure to comply can lead to severe penalties or even a jail sentence. If there is a liability case, landlords need to be able to demonstrate 'due diligence', meaning they have taken all reasonable steps to ensure tenant safety, such as by having regular gas safety checks carried out.
The Regulations define a landlord's responsibilities for gas safety:
- Ensure installation gas pipe work, gas appliances and flues provided for tenants are maintained in a safe
condition.
- Ensure maintenance and an annual Gas Safety Inspection is carried out specifically by a registered
engineer.
- Your Gas Safety Certificate is valid for 12 months and you must retain a record of each safety check, called a CP12
Certificate, for 2 years.
- Issue a copy of the gas safety check to each existing tenant within 28 days of the check being completed and to any
new tenant before they move in.
You should always check in between tenancies to see if the previous tenant has removed any gas appliances unsafely
or made changes to pipe works. Any gas appliances left behind by the previous tenant that you did not provide should either be removed or inspected for safety by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
