What are my main duties as a landlord?

You are required to:
• Ensure an annual safety check is carried out on each gas appliance/flue. Before any new lease starts, you must make sure that these checks have been carried out within one year before the start of the lease date, unless the appliances in the property have been installed for less than 12 months, in which case they should be checked within 12 months of their installation date.
• Have all installation, maintenance and safety checks carried out by a CORGI-registered gas installer; keep a record of each safety check for at least two years.
• Issue a copy of the latest safety check record to Just4Let or to any new tenant before they move in.
The Regulations specify the gas safety matters to be covered. You should not assume that an annual service inspection meets the safety check requirement, or that a safety check will, on its own, be sufficient to provide effective maintenance. Ask the advice of a CORGI registered gas installer where necessary.
