Electrical safety
Your landlord must arrange for an electrical installation condition report, usually no less than every 5 years, before your tenancy starts (or by 1 April 2021 for existing tenancies). Any works or further investigation required must be carried out by the landlord within 28 days (unless they are only recommendations).
The wiring and any electrical items supplied with your home must be safe. This doesn’t cover electrical items provided by you.
Your landlord should arrange regular basic safety checks for the electrics and appliances such as cookers, washing machines and fridges. Electrical appliances that have been checked by an electrician should have a PAT (portable appliance test) sticker on the plug. This shows the date it was tested.
