GAS SAFETY CHECKS

In order to ensure the safety of our tenants and members of the public, and in accordance with the Gas Safety Regulations 1998 Act, landlords must ensure that all properties that contain gas must receive a Gas Safety Check every 12 months.

Carbon monoxide.  Any appliance which burns a fossil fuel (e.g. gas) can give off carbon monoxide.  This gas is very difficult for people to detect.  Exposure can cause poisoning which can maim or kill.

Our gas servicing contractors carry a 'landlords gas safety check' on all properties that have their own individual heating systems.  Sheltered schemes serviced by communal boiler houses are also covered but access to individual flats is not required in these cases.

Our obligations as a landlord:
	To take all reasonable steps to ensure the gas safety check is carried out at the time it is due
	Ensure the tenant receives a copy of the safety check certificate
	Ensure all tenants receive a copy of the safety check in their Sign-Up pack at the start of their tenancy.
Tenants obligations
	To allow our contractor access to their property to carry out the gas safety check
