Landlords' responsibility for gas safety
As a landlord, you are legally responsible for the safety of your tenants in relation to gas safety. By law you must:
- repair and maintain gas pipework, flues and appliances in safe condition
- ensure an annual gas safety check on each appliance and flue
- keep a record of each safety check
You should also keep your tenants informed about their responsibilities while they are staying in your property.
