Introduction to Subject
Where a gas supply exists to any rented property, landlords must have a clear understanding of their responsibilities in relation to gas supply and appliances.
The Gas Safety Regulations make it mandatory that gas appliances must be maintained in a safe condition at all times. A landlord or agent may not contract out of his obligations under the Regulations by including a clause in the tenancy agreement and a breach of the Regulations is a criminal offence enforced by the Health & Safety Executive, (HSE).
