Many landlords and agents take their responsibility seriously and already make sure electrical installations are safe. Even before these regulations came into force, landlords were legally required to make sure that their properties are free of serious electrical hazards. These regulations therefore require all landlords to do what good landlords already do \u2014 make sure the electrical installations in their rented properties are safe. However, landlord and agent groups have reported to us that there are still large numbers of rented properties with potentially dangerous electrical installations. This highlights just how important the regulations are, as poorly maintained electrical installations and electrical faults can cause deaths or injury and tenants are spending more, if not all, of their time in the home.<\/p>
