Landlord Duties
Under general health and safety law, as a landlord you have health and safety duties and need to take suitable precautions to prevent or control the risk of exposure to legionella.
Letting agents and landlords are obliged by law to carry out risk assessments for legionnaire’s disease, and if necessary, take action. You should have a Legionella Risk Assessment every 2 years if you rent out a property.
Having a risk assessment is your responsibility and will help you to establish any potential risks and implement measures to either eliminate or control risks.
After a risk assessment has been carried out you will receive a certificate which will be valid for 2 years.

Is it necessary to clean and disinfect my water system?
It is important to maintain the cleanliness of your water system. The mechanisms and frequency for doing this will depend on the system you have and whether cleaning or disinfecting is being done routinely or because of a problem identified during monitoring. The frequency and method of routine cleaning and disinfecting should be identified within your risk assessment. This will take account of factors such as whether the system is open or closed, the type and level of contamination, and the population that could be exposed.
