Landlord gas certificate or not?

[Malc]

I was just wondering if you need a landlord's gas safety certificate if there are no gas appliances in the rented accommodation. Say you rent a room in you house but the gas boiler is in the kitchen? Or say the house has a granny annexe that you rent out? A self contained one with or without a connecting door. Without a connecting door I would have said not since it's like a separate house (but with shared CH). With a connecting door I'm not so sure.

Grey area but I would say renting a room the CO / explosion from a boiler will not confine its self to the kitchen.

I've found a leaflet on here, a guide to landlord duties. That says "any appliances and flues serving ‘relevant premises’ (such as central heating boilers not installed in tenants’ accommodation, but used to heat them) are covered." which seems a bit daft to me but it is pretty clear cut.

You may think it is daft, but people have died from. CO poisoning from appliances not even in their house!

And remember the the 2 boys on holiday (Greece?) who died in a complex room, with fumes eminating from the boiler room

Renting a room in your own home where you live is not the same as renting out a property where you don't live.
Basically they're your guests and you can kick them out without notice.
They're lodgers and no rental accommodation rules apply.
