Leeds Gas Safety Certificates
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require all landlords to have a Landlords Gas Safety Certificate or CP12 if they rent out a property. A Gas Safety Certificate in Leeds is a requirement when you're letting a property. All gas appliances and installations in a property must be inspected once every 12 months.
All landlords must give their tenants a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate, and it is suggested that you keep one for your reference. Landlords are responsible for their tenant's safety, and gas safety is a critical part of that.
If you don't receive a copy of the Gas Safety Certificate from your landlord, ask for one. Additionally, if you still haven't received it after contacting your landlord, get the Gas Safe Register. Gas safety is always essential, and tenants have every right to ensure their property is up to par.

The engineer will inspect everything and, if it is all safe and operational, provide you with a Gas Safety Certificate. If any appliance is deemed unsafe, the engineer will disconnect it and give you a warning notice. The appliance must be repaired or replaced before use again.
