Landlord PAT Testing

If you are a landlord, renting accommodation such as houses, flats, holiday homes, caravans, etc, there is a legal requirement to ensure the safety of your tenants. This requirement extends to any electrical equipment that is provided as part of the tenancy which should include operating instructions and safety notices supplied before a letting commences.

 

The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 states that electrical equipment, provided with the accommodation, must be safe to use. This means that landlords are responsible for the safety of tenants and should regularly maintain any electrical equipment supplied with the accommodation.

 

It is recommended that the landlord, as a minimum, visually check each appliance for safety prior to the next tenants arrival; frequent checks are encouraged to ensure the safety of all tenants. One of the easiest ways to minimise the risk of injury from a portable electrical appliance is to have these devices PAT tested.
