What is a Legionella Risk Assessment for Landlords & HMOs
Landlords and HMO operators have a legal responsibility to assess and control the risk of Legionella within their properties.
A Legionella Risk Assessment for landlords focuses on identifying potential risks within domestic water systems and ensuring appropriate control measures are in place to protect tenants.
This is particularly important in HMOs and rental properties where water systems may be used irregularly or by multiple occupants.
Failure to carry out a risk assessment can result in non-compliance with legal duties and potential action from enforcing authorities.
