Gas Safety Checks

Landlords are legally obliged (in accordance with Gas Safety Regulations 1998) to obtain a gas safety certificate (CP12) every twelve months. Therefore it is imperative that tenants co-operate with the Council in order for the (CP12) to be completed.

The contractor will be entitled to charge the Council for visits following evidence that they have arranged and made 3 unsuccessful visits. These charges will be recharged to the tenant.

Forced Entry

As a final mechanism to ensure the Council compliance with its statutory obligations, it will force entry to carry out a service. Every effort will be made to avoid this, through written correspondence and other appropriate methods of communication.

Please note if the Council have to apply to the courts for a warrant for forced entries. The tenant will be recharged £300.14 minimum, this could increase dependent on what locks are changed. The amount will be added to your rent account for recovery.
