Merton Gas Safety Rules for Landlords and Rental Properties
What the Law Requires
Regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 requires landlords to arrange an annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer. The check covers the appliances, fittings, and flues the landlord provides. A gas safety cert for landlords must be given to existing tenants within 28 days of the check and to new tenants before they move in.
Licensing Paperwork Versus Law
National law sets the annual gas safety duties for landlords. Merton's separate licence condition applies to licensed properties and asks for a certificate covering all gas appliances in the property. A gas safety certificate for Merton properties helps landlords prepare the record needed for their property licence.
A Record After Every Check
The engineer issues a record after each check, listing any defects found and remedial work carried out. Faults are classed as immediately dangerous or at risk where applicable. A rental property gas certificate records the findings, including faults that need attention.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Merton's selective licence condition reflects the legal requirement for a carbon monoxide alarm in rooms with a fixed combustion appliance, excluding gas cookers. The condition also asks for a declaration within seven days of a request.
2026 Update
Section 21 ended for private landlords on 1 May 2026. The national PRS Database opens in stages from 15 December 2026, with London landlords required to register by 14 October 2027.
