There are a number of regulations in force that impose a duty on landlords to ensure the safety of electrical equipment supplied for use by the tenant. Additionally, each time a property is re-let, it will be classed as supplying to the tenant for the first time. Therefore landlords should take practicable precautions to ensure that electrical equipment is, and remains safe. Regular inspection & testing should help to achieve this by being able to demonstrate, through detailed records that reasonable steps were taken in the event of an accident.
As with the testing of in service equipment, legislation requires that electrical installations are maintained in a safe condition by the landlord.
