Two main acts of parliament impose a statutory duty on landlords with regards to the safety of electrical equipment. The landlord’s common law, duty of care, the landlord and tenant act 1985 (and other statutory regulations) require electrical equipment to be safe at the start of every tenancy and to be maintained in a safe condition throughout the tenancy. In addition, electrical hazards are covered by the housing health and safety system under the housing act 2004.
For commercial properties and houses in multiple occupancies (HMO), statutory duty under the regulatory reform fire safety order of 2005 for the responsible person to perform annual fire safety risk assessments including electrical safety risks.
