Landlord Gas Safety Certificate and Boiler Service

mk-gas-safety-logo.pngAs a landlord, it's your responsibility to ensure all gas appliances, flues and chimneys undergo annual checks. The law also requires that you provide a copy the check to your tenants.

If the engineer determines that an appliance or installation as being immediately dangerous, they will ask for permission to shut off the gas supply and suggest that inspection hatches be installed.

What is a Gas Safety Certificate?

A gas safety certificate issued by a landlord is an official document that confirms that all gas appliances and flues that are in the property that is rented have been inspected by an accredited gas engineer. Landlords are legally obliged to conduct a gas safety inspection once per year for each rental property they own. The inspection is carried out by an Gas Safe registered engineer and checks to ensure that all pipes appliances, flues, and pipes are in good working order and that they are in compliance with safety standards.

Landlords are also legally required to provide tenants with an original copy of the CP12 Gas Safety Certificate (Gas Safety Record) after each annual gas safety inspection and test. The certificate should be provided to tenants within 28 days following the Gas Safety Inspection and to new tenants at the start of their tenancy.

CP12 is an abbreviation used for the CORGI Proforma 12 which was employed by the Council for Registered Gas Installers (CORGI) prior to being replaced by the Gas Safe Register in 2009. The form includes the date of the most recent gas inspections and tests, the results, any steps that must be taken, as well as the name and name of the engineer who performed the inspection.

If the Gas Safety check highlights any issues with a gas appliance and the engineer will give advice on what needs to be done to ensure its safe use. If a gas appliance is found to be Immediately Dangerous, or Abnormally lethal, the gas supply must be turned off until the issue has been resolved.

It is illegal for a tenant to refuse to let the gas safety check to be carried out. A landlord can ask the courts for an injunction order in the event of need, but it is usually much easier to simply send a well written letter stating why it is essential that the checks are conducted and what they'll involve. This should encourage a reluctant tenant to let access in, and if not, the landlord might need to consider starting the process of eviction.

How often should I obtain a Gas Safety Certificate?

Landlords and letting agencies are required by law to conduct an annual gas safety check on all flues and gas appliances that they supply to tenants. This is done to ensure that the equipment is safe to use and to ensure that there aren't gas leaks within the property. This is a vitally important responsibility and landlords should ensure that they are inspected for gas by a qualified gas engineer.

The Gas Safety Certificate, formerly known as the Gas Safety Check Record, is a legal document that indicates that an engineer completed a gas inspection in the last 12 months. It is given to the landlord, and should be given to the tenant to prove the security of the gas supply. It is valid for 12 months and needs to be renewed annually.

A landlord who does not provide a Gas Safety Certificate for their tenants could be fined. Gas Safety checks must be performed by landlords on time. They must keep a copy in the event that tenants request it.

Installing inspection hatches on all gas appliances is a good idea as it allows engineers to quickly access the appliances to conduct annual inspections. The engineer will classify the appliance as 'at-risk' and may suggest that tenants refrain from using the boiler until the inspection hatch has been installed.

Landlords must also provide their tenants with at least 24 hours' notice prior to entering the property to conduct Gas Safety Checks. This allows tenants time to prepare and ask permission if they need. If a tenant does not allow access to the engineer, the landlord must explain the reason why it is necessary and what will happen should the tenant refuse. If the tenant is unwilling to allow the engineer entry, the landlord can consider evicting the tenant under section 21 of 1988 Housing Act.

What happens if you don't own a Gas Safety Certificate?

It is the legal obligation of a landlord to make sure that their property is fitted with an approved gas safety certificate prior to the time tenants move in. In the absence of this, it's an offence that can cause landlords to be charged and liable to heavy fines. The regulations stipulate that landlords must also furnish copies of gas safety records to their tenants upon request.

Gas Safe registered engineers must visit the rental home of the landlord in order to perform an inspection of all gas appliances. During the inspection, an engineer will note any problems that could pose a risk to tenants. They will issue a CP12 gas safety certificate that is also known as the Landlord Gas Safety Record or a Gas Safety Certificate.

This is an important document that all tenants should be able to access and keep. The document contains information about gas installations in a rental home, including when they were tested and their expiration dates. It will help tenants recognize any issues with their appliances or installations and make sure that they are aware of how to reach a Gas Safe engineer to have them examined.

Landlords must provide the gas safety report to their tenants, both new and current within 28 days of the date that the engineer has visited their property. They must also give a copy of the CP12 to the tenant on the day their tenancy starts. Landlords who fail to provide the copy of the gas certificate (information from www.mkgassafety.co.uk) could be charged and face unlimited fines or six months in prison.

Similar to this, landlords should ensure that carbon monoxide detectors are working in their properties and make arrangements for them to be tested every month. The landlord is responsible for fixing the problem if the alarm does not work. This is applicable to councils, private landlords, and housing associations, as well as licensable Houses of Multiple Occupation.

In June 2017, the High Court decided that it was illegal for landlords to issue Section 21 notices if they did not provide their tenants with an official gas safety certificate. The decision was made based on the law that stipulates that landlords with assured shorthold tenancies must have an approved gas safety certificate for their property before tenants move into the property.

How do I obtain a Gas Safety Certificate?

Landlords are legally responsible to ensure that gas appliances, flues and pipework in their properties are safe for tenants. This is covered under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. To comply with the regulations, landlords are required to arrange annual gas checks on all gas appliances and flues that they supply for use in the building. This is known as a CP12 gas safety certificate and it must be completed by a licensed Gas Safe registered engineer after each inspection.

Landlords should also think about performing a boiler inspection in conjunction with a CP12 inspection. This will ensure that the gas appliances are functioning properly and safely. Gas engineers can provide the combination CP12 inspection and boiler service for a reasonable price. They will check the boiler burner's seals, inspect for cracks and leaks in the flue system and clean the heat exchanger and carry out general maintenance.

The CP12 is sometimes referred to by the term "landlord's gas safety certificate" however it's actually called the Gas Safety Record Documentation. It contains the results of safety inspections, and specifics of any issues or actions that need to be taken care of. Landlords must give their tenants a copy of the CP12 document within 28 days of the Gas Safety check being completed.

It is essential that landlords or letting agents only permit Gas Safe registered engineers to access the property to conduct safety checks and for maintenance. It's a good idea inform tenants of the necessity of allowing access, and explain that the gas engineer is there to ensure they are safe from carbon monoxide poisoning. If the tenant is unwilling to permit access the agent or landlord must outline the legal obligations in writing. They should then go to the property and force entry if necessary.

Gas Safe ID cards should be requested by tenants prior to they are allowed to enter the property. This will ensure that the engineer is qualified to work on the systems in your home and can therefore be trusted to carry out the safety inspection. It's important to keep in mind that the gas engineer is legally able to shut off any malfunctioning equipment and can shut off your gas supply in the event of a need.
