It is a legal requirement in England that landlords must guarantee their tenants an adequate and dependable supply of heat and hot water.

Keeping up a secure and operating heating or hot water system is essential for everyone living in the building – that means it’s on them to make sure these systems are always running efficiently. Any time something goes wrong with either of those systems, they must take action quickly by repairing or replacing anything needed and covering all associated costs.
