    The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 came into effect on June 1, 2020. According to the new laws, landlords are legally required to have qualified and competent experts to assess the electrical installations in their rental premises.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    According to the regulations, electrical certificates for landlords must be inspected at least once every five years or after any current tenancies. Always double-check your report as the prior electrician might have believed that more frequent inspections were required. Landlords have a responsibility to ensure that all electrics and electrical equipment are secure for usage by the current tenant and that an EICR is in place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
