From 1st December 2015, private landlords, under Scottish Law, became responsible for ensuring that an electrical safety inspection of their rental property was carried out by a registered electrician at least every 5 years. Many landlords who do not let their premises out via a letting agent are unaware of these changes in the law, as are their tennants. Under sections 13(4A) and 19B(4) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006, private landlords are required by law to ensure their properties are electrically safe. This covers: Any installations in the property for the supply of electricity Electrical fixtures and fittings Any appliances provided by the landlord under the tenancy. Landlords must be able to prove that all of the above are in a reasonable state of repair and in proper working order. They are also required to ensure that regular electrical safety inspections are carried out by a competent person, and that anything that fails to pass the inspection is replaced or repaired immediately. As a minimum, an electrical safety inspection must be carried out: Before a tenancy starts, and During the tenancy, at intervals of no more than five years from the date of the previous inspection. A copy of the most recent electrical safety inspection reports must be provided to both new and retained tenants. The person who conducts the checks must be employed by a firm that is a member of an accredited registration scheme operated by a body recognised by the Scottish Government – this will usually mean that they are registered with NICEIC or a member firm of the Electrical Contractors’ Association of Scotland (SELECT). There is also a requirement for hard wired (connected to the mains supply), battery backed and linked smoke/ heat alarms. And if gas is present, also a CO alarm.
