As of 29 March 2021, landlords who enter into a new rental agreement or have a fixed term agreement of more than five years which rolls over into a periodic tenancy must ensure that these house appliances or systems are assessed for safety according to the schedule below.
It’s important to note that these checks have to be carried out by a licensed or registered technician and that all records (such as compliance certs etc) should be kept to prove that they have been done.
That said, if a gas or electrical safety check has not been conducted within the last 2 years at the time the renter occupies the premises, the rental provider must arrange a gas or electrical safety check as soon as possible.
At CheckHero, we offer our clients an accredited, thorough, friendly, and affordable service to ensure that your property is safe and compliant. We are a comprehensive and seamless end-to-end compliance solution, with checks conducted by fully licensed and accredited professionals.
The new safety check regulations, which came into effect on March 29 2021 (under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021), have added yet more work to agents or self-managed landlords. CheckHero is here to take all this extra workload off of your hands.
At CheckHero, our business is geared around providing the most hassle-free support to our clients (property managers) and, in turn, to their landlords.
The way in which we administer everything for you is significantly more effortless than alternative solutions. Our product is built around providing a seamless experience that runs on autopilot without you needing to worry about anything.
