Hi all,
I have a bit of a dilemma and was wondering what do next…
I have a rental property, 3 bed mid terrace under a shorthold assured tenancy.
I need to provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). It is inevitable that this will mean that extensive remedial work needs to be carried out which will involve rewiring the property. A friend who is an electrician has told me as much.
The gov.uk website states the following:
“Where the report shows that remedial or further investigative work is necessary, complete this work within 28 days or any shorter period if specified as necessary in the report.”
My tenant is unwilling to move out of the property despite knowing this. He has 4 young children and a wife.
From 1 April 2021 the Electrical Safety Regulations will apply to my rental property. Exceptions are set out in Schedule 1 of the Regulations, but these do not apply to me.
If I need to carry out this work and the tenant is unwilling to move out. What can I do to remedy this situation?
I don’t think I can successfully evict the tenant considering the following:
“From 29 August 2020, a Section 21 notice must give tenants at least 6 months’ notice of the fact that the landlord requires possession.”
What can I do?.
