Landlord’s Duty to Ensure Installations are Safe
All Landlords have a common law duty to ensure that gas installations and appliances supplied with their properties are safe. Tenants also have certain legal obligations when it comes to gas safety – see below.
In the case of residential properties, landlords (or their agents) have a statutory duty to arrange annual Gas Safety Checks by a Gas Safe Registered Engineer.
A copy of the Gas Safety Certificate must be given to the tenant on entry and within 28 days of the annual check. A copy must also be retained by the landlord for 2 years.
With commercial properties the lease should determine who has responsibility for gas safety: tenant or landlord. If you as landlord (or agent) have supplied the equipment and taken on the service responsibility you should arrange for annual maintenance and a Gas Safe Registered Engineer check.
All gas inspection certificates last for a period of twelve months, so they are required to be carried out on an annual basis. Landlord’s are required to have gas safety certificates for their properties before they let them, and then have the gas safety certificates renewed every 12 months also.
Many restaurants, fast food takeaway’s, hotels, pubs and clubs etc, are being requested by Environmental Health Officers to produce valid gas safety certificates to enable them to continue trading.We have engineers available throughout the day and night to respond
