Landlord Gas Safety Records

As a landlord letting a residential property, you have a legal duty to ensure it is safe for your tenants. This means you are required by law to get a Gas Safe registered engineer to do an annual gas safety check on all gas appliances.

​

It is the results of these checks that are recorded on your Landlord Gas Safety Record. You will receive a copy, and you will need to provide a record of this check to your tenants.

​

In your record, you should find:

​

• A description and location of each appliance that was checked

• The name, registration number and signature of the engineer that made the checks

• The date the checks were carried out

• The address of the property where the appliances are installed

• Your name and address or an agents where applicable

• Information on any safety defects and actions needed or taken to fix them

• The results of all operational safety checks carried out on the appliances

 

The gas pipework in your rented property must also be kept in a safe condition. We will visually examine the pipework and test for leaks on the whole gas system, including installation pipework.
