Can I start a tenancy before EICR is ready?

Do I need a completed EICR and Gas Safety Cert before i can start a tenancy on Open Rent? Do i need to upload them on the site in order to proceed? I have a tenant that wants to move in this weekend but the engineer is not available until next week. Thanks

Do not begin a tenancy without them! You will be heading for a big fall otherwise.

Council can fine £30k for no EICR. Continue without at your peril.

Do you the previous reports and are they still valid ?
