Since 1st July 2020 for any new tenancy and 1st April 2022 for an existing tenancy, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a requirement by law and should be carried out at least every 5 years, failure to provide one carries a fine of up to £30,000 you also won’t be able to serve notice on your tenant.
