Gas Safety. If the property has a gas supply, then the landlord must arrange for a gas safety check to be carried out, by a gas safe registered engineer, on all gas pipes and appliances (for example fire, hob, oven and boiler) in the property which have been supplied by the landlord. This must be done every year. After each yearly check, the engineer signs a Landlord Gas Safety Record, which notes the results of the checks and confirms whether each gas appliance meets the safety standard it needs to. The landlord must make sure that the property is safe. If the tenant has any concerns about the safety of any gas item in the property, or knows that any gas appliances or pipework are not working properly - for example, there’s a smell of gas or the pilot light in a boiler does not stay lit - then the tenant must tell the landlord. The landlord must give the tenant a copy of each yearly Landlord Gas Safety Record which is issued by the gas safe registered engineer. If the landlord does not do this, the tenant can contact the Health & Safety Executive for advice or can get gas safety advice at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx.xx. Also, the tenant could contact the local council, which could require the landlord to provide the Record to the tenant or face losing their registration as a landlord with the local council. If a gas engineer decides that any gas appliance is unsafe - which is often called "condemned" - then the tenant must not use that appliance. Carbon monoxide detectors go off (so the alarm sounds) if carbon monoxide is present in a property. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous gas which can cause illness or even death. Unlike the gas which powers the appliances in a property (like the boiler and hob), carbon monoxide does not have any smell - the only way to know that carbon monoxide is in a property is by having a carbon monoxide detector. Because of this, the landlord must have carbon monoxide detectors installed in the property if there are appliances which use carbon based fuel - which would be gas, wood, coal, other solid fuel or oil. A carbon monoxide detector must be in: • each room or inter-connected space such as a garage, that has a fixed carbon based fuel powered appliance (except one solely used for cooking) - so, for example, every room or inter-connected space that has a fire, heater or a boiler; and • if the flue from any carbon based fuel powered appliance passes through any bedroom or living room, then in each of those rooms too.

Gas Safety. Most modern heating boilers (including oil and solid fuel appliances) require a supply of air for safe combustion of the fuel within the boiler, and many properties contain air bricks and similar types of ventilation for this purpose. It is important that these ventilators are not blocked and problems affecting the safe operation of the appliances are immediately reported back to the landlord.
