	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2016 answer text <p>Under the <em>Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property)(England and Wales) Regulations 2015</em>, landlords of privately rented non-domestic property will need to ensure that, from 1 April 2018, their properties reach at least an energy performance rating of E before granting a tenancy to new or existing tenants. Non-domestic landlords cannot rely on subsidy to pay for any energy efficiency improvements which may be necessary, and no targeted financial assistance is planned. However, the Regulations incorporate a cost effectiveness test, and landlords may be eligible for an exemption where the recommended measure(s) do not meet a seven year simple payback. The method of calculating the payback period is set out in the regulations.</p><p> </p><p>Government is currently working with industry stakeholders to finalise a comprehensive guidance document for non-domestic landlords on meeting the requirements of the Regulations, including further details on calculating payback. This guidance document will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 08/06/2016 11:44:20 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 2058 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
