Copies of the gas safety record must be kept by landlords for two years.

EVs significantly reduce emissions compared to conventional vehicles, especially when charged from renewable energy sources. The UK’s growing renewable energy capacity makes EVs increasingly sustainable.

Smart meters are designed and tested to meet strict safety standards. They use low-level radio waves to transmit data, which are well within the safety limits set by the relevant authorities.

Non-compliance can result in significant fines, penalties, or even imprisonment for the most serious breaches. It can also invalidate your landlord insurance and expose you to legal claims from tenants.
