Summer is finally just around the corner and while we are thinking about some much-needed sunshine and summer days outdoors, for landlords this is the busiest time of year. Summer is peak moving season, with more tenants moving into rental properties than at any other time of year.

Landlord Responsibilities

A landlord has a range of legal responsibilities and obligations, one of which is the important responsibility of maintaining the electrical equipment in the rental property. A landlord is required by law to make sure that the property’s electrical system (for example, electrical sockets and light fittings), together with all electrical appliances supplied including cookers, washing machines, are safe.

These checks must be carried out every 5 years or on change of occupancy and electrical safety must be maintained throughout the duration of the tenancy. It is essential that you ensure that appliances are functioning correctly and meet safety standards.
