Deke.It IS recommended, and fulfils the "duty of care" of the landlord for the tenant - however:

It is NOT law (same as 7671), and they can choose to take the risk; as with fire regs. I had a thread last year, r.e. a landlord who doesn`t provide ANY fire detection.

Sooner or later, something`ll happen. I can only hope no one dies as a result.

As Theo said earlier - all correspondance copied, dated and kept on file.

Duty of care IS the pivotal point of the agrument...

one persons interpretation of a reasonable duty of care

can be way off the mark of another persons interpretation...

and for as long as there is still no legal requirement, some landlords will do very little...

whilst other more diligent landlords will ensure a reasonable frequency of inspections are undertaken.

Unfortunately it is only when a serious accident occurs that some enquiry will then decide if the landlord did administer a reasonable duty of care...

This is one area often overlooked, and the Don is perfectly correct.

The visual report must be written and is excepted by all governing bodies as a requirement fullfilment to the regulations.
