Who should fix my gas fires in rented property?
contact your landlord and ask him about the fires be careful of some advice people give …landlords have to have a gas safety certificate for installed gas apliances if a fire is disconected it is not a fixed apliance… also heating is not a legal requirement under your rights as a tenant if that is how you took it on unless there was a promise to get it installed and you cant prove it. PRIVATE LANDLORDS ARE GENERALLY RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE DONT TAR EVERY ONE WITH THE SAME BRUSH !!! IF your landlord is avoiding this,as a last resort contact your local environmental health officer and they will inspect your property under decent homes legislation and require the landlord to do anything required…this could be far more than you are asking for …MAKE SURE YOU INFORM THE LANDLORD YOU ARE PREPARED TO DO THIS YOU MAY BE SURPRISED HOW QUICKLY HE RESPONDS .. always be polite but firm as should he/she be.
