[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 6323, member: 250"] Hi Binky.. No rush required replying m8.. we all have busy lives! well I assume we do? :D You could say that every property (unless it is bought outright) has money transfered to a mortgage lender as part of their commercial business.. The pivotal point is if 'work activity' is carried at the location. At your average rented house.... None of the people living at the property are employed by the landlord. None of the people living at the property are doing sub-contracting work for the landlord. The landlord has no staff permanently based at the rented property. I think you will find the terms of the lease will have some wording similar to this: [I]The tenant agrees with the landlord to; use the property as a 'private-dwelling house only', [/I] [I]the tenant must not carry out any profession or trade or business at the property [/I] [I]& must not allow any other person to do so . [/I] To look at it another way.... It is basically no different from me hiring/renting a holiday home / car for my holidays off a rental business. whilst I am using that property / vehicle... I am not at work.. the rental company has no representatives working at the location.. none of me or my family are employees of the rental agency.. and no one using the property / vehicle is earning money for a commercial enterprise. The property or vehicle is an asset of the business not a business work location.. So health and safety at work and electricity at work do not apply! As I said I know there are some greater responsibilities for landlords with Multi-tenant properties, & properties 3 stories or higher... but I think these are council regulations not H&SaW or EaWR.
