Is it a legal requirement to carry out a gas safety check?

We have a legal responsibility under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 to carry out an annual gas safety check.

This includes a safety inspection of all gas appliances and relevant pipework in your property.

If you do not use a gas supply but have a gas meter, we're still required to attend and carry out our relevant safety tests.

Not providing us access for the annual gas safety check is a breach of your tenancy agreement and could result in legal action.
