What can a landlord do if he/she cannot get their gas appliances checked under Regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998, due to unhelpful tenants?
This has become more of a common problem, which can lead to a landlord possibly contravening the Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations 1998. In this situation, a landlord would have to demonstrate that he/she has made all efforts to discharge their responsibilities under Regulation 36 of the GSIUR 1998. This can be achieved by keeping a detailed record of attempts to gain access – such as using recorded delivery of letters and personal visits to the property. These efforts to gain access do not include forced entry to property.
