The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 state that landlords must keep gas appliances, pipework and flues safe. Part of this involves getting a new gas safety certificate for the property each year.
As a landlord you should:
- Provide a copy of the certificate to each existing tenant of the residential premises within 28 days of issue.
- Keep a copy of the gas safety certificate for at least two years.
- Issue a copy the latest gas safety certificate to any new residents when they move in.
HouseTag ensures you can evidence compliance. Simply upload the certificates onto the property portal and the latest certificate will always be available to the home-users. Your contractors can in addition view historical certificates. Prospective tenants can view the certificate by scanning the tag whilst viewing the property or be emailed a direct link.
