Electricians in Exeter: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners are responsible for any electrical work inside their property. That includes maintenance, upgrades, and ensuring compliance with building regulations. Work that falls under Part P must be certified, either by a registered electrician or through Building Control.

Renters should report electrical issues to their landlord or managing agent. It’s the landlord’s legal duty to ensure electrics are safe and to provide an EICR every five years. If you’re unsure who’s responsible, start with your tenancy agreement or contact your local council for advice.
