A buy-to-let landlord has been fined for failing to comply with electrical safety standards in what is thought to be the first prosecution of its kind.
Coventry City Council issued a £1,600 fine after the landlord failed to provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) in respect of their property investment on Stoney Stanton Road in Foleshill.
The report should have been completed on or around 1 April 2020 by a competent and suitably qualified electrician to show that the electrical installation in the property was safe, and a copy provided to the tenant. The council says that it will also be serving a remedial notice requiring further action to be taken.
