Landlord PAT Testing

Anyone who lets residential accommodation (such as houses, flats and bed sits, holiday homes, caravans and boats) as a business activity is required by law to ensure the equipment they supply as part of the tenancy is safe.

As a landlord you may not think that your rented properties need to be PAT Tested. This is the case if you don't supply any electrical appliances to your tenants but if you do provide them with the usual appliances like washing machines, dishwashers or fridges to say just a few, then you have a duty to prevent harm to them from any provided appliances.

Without a programme of planned appliance testing and maintenance, you could be legally liable for damages resulting from your supplied untested appliances.

The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, mandatory since 1 January 1997, state that all electrical appliances supplied with let accommodation must be safe. This covers all appliances that are intended to be used by the tenant and includes both new and second hand electrical equipment.

At NPT we believe that we can work together with yourself and make sure that we bring your rented accommodations whether 1 or 101 addresses up to date and to comply with these obligations.
