The Gas Certificate Service is your one stop resource for all things Gas, including Gas Safety Certificates.
A Gas Safety Certificate is needed whenever a property is to be rented out. The certificate has to be renewed every year. It is a legal requirement and you can be heavily fined if you do not provide one. If you are renting your home, you must order a gas certificate before you let your property.
By law, under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, it is your responsibility to get a Gas Safety Certificate every twelve months. You must get this from a Gas Safe Registered engineer for all pipe work, gas appliances and flues installed at your property. You must also keep copies of all the paperwork. You will need to keep a record of the safety inspection for two years, and give a copy to all of your tenants within 28 days of the inspection. If your tenants change, the new tenants will need a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate before they move in. If your contract says the letting agent is responsible, then the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 are passed on to them.

THE EPC MAN
LANDLORD INFORMATION
As a landlord you are responsible for the safety of your tenants. Your legal duties apply to a wide range of accommodation occupied
under a lease or licence, including (but not limited to):
Residential premises provided for rent by local authorities, housing associations, private sector landlords, co-operatives, hostels.
Rooms, let in bed-sit accommodation, private households, bed and breakfast accommodation and hotels.
Rented holiday accommodation such as chalets, cottages, flats, caravans and narrow boats on inland waterways.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 outline the duties of landlords to ensure gas appliances, fittings and chimneys/flues provided for tenants are safe.
Your responsibilities
If you let a property which has gas appliances, you have three main responsibilities:
Maintenance: pipework, appliances and chimney/flues need to be maintained safely. Gas appliances should be serviced in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. If these are not available, you should ask yout local 'My Gas Man Member' to service them annually.
Gas safety checks: An annual gas safety check should be carried out on each gas appliance/flue. This will ensure gas appliances and fittings are safe to use. There is a legal requirement on you to have all gas appliances safety checked by a registered engineer annually and you also need to maintain gas pipework and flues in a safe condition. This is UK law.
Record: A record of the annual gas safety check (a Gas Safety Certificate) should be provided to your existing tenants within 28 days of completion, or to new tenants upon the start of the tenancy. If the rental period is less than 28 days at a time you may display a copy of the record in a prominent position within the dwelling. You need to keep copies of the record for at least 2 years.
Additional info: If a tenant has their own gas appliance that you have not provided, you are responsible only for the maintenance of the gas pipework to the appliance - You are not responsible for the appliance itself. It is also a good idea to ensure that your tenants know where/how to turn the gas off and what to do in the event of a gas emergency. Last, but certainly not least, make sure anyone carrying out gas work on your property is Gas Safe registered - this is not only the law, but the most important step to ensuring the safety of your tenants. All members of 'My Gas Man' are Gas Safe Registered.
Problem Tennancies
Some landlord/tenant relationships can be problematic and tenants may refuse to give access to the property.
In order to avoid this, you should have an agreement drawn up with the tenant, before the tenancy begins, allowing you access to the property to ensure any maintenance or safety work can be carried out. You have to take 'all reasonable steps’ to ensure the work is carried out - this can involve giving a tenant notice. If a tenant does refuse access, be sure to keep a record of any action taken as you may need this at a later date. The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations do not give powers to ‘force disconnection’ of the gas supply in these circumstances and you may need to seek legal advice.
