Gas Safety Certificates: Rules and Penalties for Landlords
The rules
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must keep gas installations safe, have an annual safety check, give the record to existing tenants within 28 days and to new tenants before they move in.
Penalties
Breaches are a criminal offence that can lead to unlimited fines or imprisonment, and a missing certificate can cause problems when seeking possession.
