When Are Gas Safety Certificates Required?
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords in Botley, Oxford and the wider UK are legally required to ensure that all gas appliances, pipework, flues and associated systems in rental properties are safe for tenants.
To comply with the law, landlords must:
- Arrange an annual gas safety check conducted by a Gas Safe registered heating engineer.
- Provide a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate to tenants within 28 days of inspection.
- Issue a copy of the certificate to new tenants before the day of their move.
- Keep records of all landlord certificates for a minimum of two years.
Failure to meet these obligations can result in severe penalties, such as fines and even legal action. What’s more, compliance is essential for tenant safety and the peace of mind that comes with it.
