Gas safety certificate – Every 12 Months

EICR-PAT Certificate— Every 5 years

Legionella assessment----- New tenancy or if the house is vacant

Smoke alarms—Should be tested at the start of each tenancy and it should be stressed upon tenants to test the smoke alarms weekly or monthly

Provide a how-to-rent leaflet.

Thank you
