Checklist for landlords FAQs
As this page says: “It is important, and in many cases, a legal requirement, that your rental property has safety measures and certifications in place. If a landlord fails to do this they could be liable for any fines or convictions.” The checklist that follows covers smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12), electrical systems, cookers and kettles, and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).

If you have boiler cover with us, the boiler must be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and you will need to provide proof of the service and a valid gas safety certificate if you claim.
This page lists landlord appliance cover, boiler cover, plumbing and drainage cover, and pest infestation and home emergency cover, to help with unexpected repairs in a rental property. Landlord boiler cover is not a legal requirement. What is included depends on the policy you take out.
