From the 1st of April, Landlords are obliged to have an electrician undertake an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). If any faults are found during this inspection, you must remedy such faults within 28 days and provide a copy of the report along with evidence of any remedial works to your tenant and to the local authority.
