Understanding Your Responsibilities as a Landlord in Devon
As a landlord in Devon, you have a duty of care to your tenants to provide a safe and healthy living environment. One of the key aspects of this responsibility is managing asbestos in your properties. But do you know if you need to provide an asbestos survey?
What is an Asbestos Survey and Why is it Important?
An asbestos survey is a thorough inspection of your property to identify and assess the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, if disturbed or damaged. A survey will help you understand the risks associated with asbestos in your property and provide a plan for managing or removing it.
Do Landlords in Devon Need to Provide an Asbestos Survey?
While there is no specific law that requires landlords to provide an asbestos survey, you do have a legal duty to manage asbestos in your properties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. This means you must take reasonable steps to identify and manage asbestos risks, which may include conducting a survey. If you fail to comply with these regulations, you could face fines or even prosecution.
