Landlords are calling for a six-month extension to the
validity of all gas and electrical safety certificates to cover for the impact

landlords need to ensure routine, but legally binding checks, can take place at
a point when the danger of spreading the virus in rental properties is at least
reduced. Read more on the RLA website.
