Landlord and Rental Property FAQs
Landlord legal obligations for boilers, Gas Safety Record requirements, and tenant heating rights.
5 questions answered by our Gas Safe engineers
Do landlords have to provide a working boiler?
Yes. Landlords have a legal obligation to ensure heating and hot water systems are in safe working order at all times.
What is a Landlord Gas Safety Record?
A Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) is a certificate issued after an annual gas safety check. It must be given to tenants within 28 days of the check. Failure to provide one is illegal.
How often must a landlord get a gas safety check?
Annually. All gas appliances, flues, and pipework in a rental property must be inspected every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Can I use Corby Boiler Installations for landlord gas safety checks?
Yes. We carry out Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) inspections throughout Corby and Northamptonshire. We can also manage the scheduling for your portfolio.
What happens if a tenant has no heating?
Landlords must repair heating as a matter of urgency — within 24 hours in winter is generally considered the standard. We offer emergency call-out services for exactly this situation.
