Gas Servicing Responsibilities

Gas servicing rights and responsibilities

As your landlord we have a legal responsibility to make sure that all gas appliances, fittings and flues provided for the use of tenants are safe.

As a tenant, you have a right to:

• gas fittings (appliances, pipework) and flues being maintained in a safe condition;
• an annual safety check carried out on each gas appliance/flue by our Gas Safe registered engineers. Checks will take place within one year of the start of your tenancy, unless the appliances have been installed for less than 12 months, in which case they will be checked within 12 months of their installation date;
• a copy of the current safety check record issued to you within 28 days of the check being completed; and
• a copy of the safety checks.

Remember: safety checks are part of your legal rights. They make sure that your appliances are working effectively and guard against the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.

If you are concerned about gas safety where you live, you can phone the Gas Safe Emergency Line on 0800 111 999.
