The Landlords and Tenant Act 1995 requires landlords of properties with short leases to keep the electrical installations in repair and proper working order. It is recommended landlords arrange for MS Electrical Contractors Ashford Kent to perform periodic inspections and testing. The following instances apply;
...A landlord is legally obligated to provide a safe habitable environment for his tenants. Therefore the landlords should have an Electrical Installation Certificate or a Valid Periodic Inspection Report, which reads that the installation is Satisfactory preferably with NO defects. If the landlord can not produce a certificate and an electrical accident occurred they would be liable and could face imprisonment. If this is of concern to you contact MS Electrical Domestic & Commercial Contractors today for advice or a quotation as it is definitely not worth the risk!
