Landlord EICRs in Essex
Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation in every rented home inspected and tested at least every five years, give tenants a copy within 28 days and complete any remedial work within 28 days of an Unsatisfactory report. Councils can fine landlords up to £30,000 for breaches. If your property is an HMO or falls under a local licensing scheme, the council will normally ask for a valid EICR as part of the licence.
Social landlords and housing associations with homes in Essex now have the same duty, with every existing social tenancy due an inspection by 1 November 2026 — see our social housing EICR guide. For HMOs, read our HMO EICR guide.
