Landlords are obligated to ensure the safety of their tenants by ensuring that all gas appliances and flues are in working order and are assessed for safety at least once a year in accordance with the legislation.
Landlord responsibilities include ensuring the rental units are free of any potential fire or health risks. They are liable to ensure the proper installation and upkeep of all electrical and gas appliances. They have to provide the property's Energy Performance Certificate.
Maintenance on gas stoves and chimneys must be performed as specified by the manufacturer. If you don't have access to these, we advise having them serviced once a year, or more often if your Gas Safe registered engineer says to.
When it comes to gas appliances, such as a gas fireplace insert, your landlord must also guarantee their safety.
