The new regulations came into effect in March 2021. As a landlord of a rental property, you will have two years to organise the gas and electrical safety checks to be completed, however if a tenant moves in or out of the property within that two-year period or a new lease signing. You must have all the compliance checks completed, with a report that records the plumbers and electricians license numbers. These reports must be signed off by authorised trades specific to the safety checks. So, to recap – You will have two years to complete the gas and electrical safety checks at the rental property unless there is a new tenancy, or lese signing. At this time, the full compliance checks must be completed when the new tenant moves in.
