Electrical Hazards & Unsafe Wiring

Exposed wiring, dead sockets, no safety checks — electrical danger your landlord must fix.

Electrical faults are one of the most dangerous forms of disrepair because the risk is fire and serious injury. Landlords have to keep the electrical system safe and have it inspected regularly. If you've reported exposed wiring, sockets that spark or trip, or a landlord who's never carried out an electrical safety check, that's a hazard the law takes seriously — and one you can act on.
