\n

Rental providers have certain responsibilities for gas and electrical safety. Gas and electrical appliances regularly checked and maintained.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rental providers must have a licensed electrician check all electrical switchboards, wiring, and fittings every two years.

Section 4 of AS\/NZS 3019:2022 \u201cElectrical installations\u2014Periodic assessment\u201d governs the safety check.

Suppose the renter has lived there for two years without an electrical safety check. The rental company must make an electrical safety check as soon as possible. Property safety requires electrical repairs after the safety check. If so, the rental provider should hire a registered electrical contractor (REC) or REC-employed licensed electrician to repair the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
