New tenancies (i.e., a new tenant is moving-in) – a report legally must be completed with a copy given to every new tenant before move-in.
Current tenancies (i.e., you have an existing tenancy in place) – After the 1st of April 2021, if an EICR inspection occurs, the report legally must be completed with a copy given to any existing tenants within 28 days. This regulation is set to start on the 1st of April 2021, so any inspections beforehand will not yet require a copy to be given to existing tenants.
