Landlord EICRs in Waltham Forest
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. Waltham Forest Council can request a copy of your report at any time, and if your property is an HMO or falls under a licensing scheme you will normally need a valid EICR for the licence — check the council's current conditions.
