Landlord Responsibilities
Landlords must ensure tenant safety by maintaining:
✔ Electrical appliances (provided by the landlord)

The Importance of an EICR
While visual inspections help detect obvious issues, hidden faults in wiring may only be identified by a qualified electrician. Landlords should arrange an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) to:
