Book Your Kent Gas Safety CheckA Landlord Gas Safety Record (CP12) is a legal requirement for every rental property with gas appliances across Kent. Valid for 12 months, this certificate must be renewed annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer to ensure tenant safety from Maidstone to Canterbury and the Medway towns.
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords throughout Kent are legally responsible for the safety of gas pipework, boilers, and flues.

Landlords must provide a copy of the CP12 to existing tenants within 28 days of the check and to any new tenants in Kent before their tenancy begins.
Non-compliance is a serious criminal offence that can lead to unlimited fines and the invalidation of your landlord insurance policy for properties across the Southeast.
