Domestic Rental Sector: Ensuring Compliance and Safety

Understanding EICR Regulations for Rental Properties

As of July 2020, it’s a legal requirement for landlords in the UK to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for all rental properties.

Here are the key points of the law:

- Mandatory Inspections: EICRs must be conducted every 5 years or sooner if specified in the previous report.
- Tenant Safety: Landlords must ensure the electrical systems in their properties are safe at all times.
- Compliance Deadline: New tenants must receive a copy of the EICR before moving in, and existing tenants should have access to the report upon request.
- Penalties for Non-Compliance: Failure to meet EICR requirements can result in fines of up to £30,000.

Keeping up with these regulations not only ensures legal compliance but also protects the safety of your tenants and reduces potential liability.
