I rent my home. Who should check my gas appliances?

If you rent your property, it’s your landlord’s responsibility to:

  • Make sure any gas appliances and installation pipework they own are working safely.
  • Arrange for a Gas Safe registered engineer (like British Gas) to fix any faulty appliances.
  • Arrange annual safety checks on the gas appliances they own.
  • Keep a record of the safety checks and give you a copy.

Some of our insurance packages for landlords come with a Gas Safety Check included.
