HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO INSPECT MY PORTABLE ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES?
As a landlord, your duty is to ensure the safety of the electrical appliance in your property. There is no legal requirement to do a PAT test periodically unless your property is a House in Multiple Occupancy, but doing one is a great way to meet your legal obligations and keep your tenants safe.

PAT TESTING
If you are the landlord of an HMO, then the law around electrical safety is different for you. If your property is classified as an HMO then an annual PAT is legally required. It must cover all appliances in the property.

Your EICR should be carried out by an accredited electrician.

TENANTS SERVICES
Whenever a new tenant moves into your commercial or domestic property, it is your responsibility as a landlord to ensure that they are aware of all electrical work that has been completed on the home. It’s very common for tenants to inspect any fixtures and sockets themselves before agreeing to let a property, and knowing that you have nothing to hide before they undertake these tests will take a weight off your shoulders.
It is also vital that you ensure that your relationship with tenants is one of mutual understanding. This means that when there are any electrical issues within the home, your tenants will feel comfortable raising them with you without concerns about how it’ll impact them. Ensure that they are aware that they must report any and all electrical faults as soon as possible so that they can be seen to.
