New Electrical Regulation require landlords to have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested by a person who is qualified and competent, 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 do what good landlords already do: make sure the electrical installations in their rented properties are safe.
The Regulations come into force on 1 June 2020 and form part of the Department’s wider work to improve safety in all residential premises and particularly in the private rented sector.

This government values the contribution made by good landlords, the majority of whom provide well maintained, safe, secure and high-quality places to live, work and raise families.
"I would like to say that Saffron is very impressed with how Living Property Waveney Lettings and the staff has worked with us on setting up this tenancy. It is refreshing to meet a private sector company who understands the housing needs of vulnerable customers and are willing to work with us for the best outcome for the owner and tenant. I look forward to working with you"
