What happens if my landlord won't get the electricity connected?

Question

Accepted Answer

Landlords must keep electrical wiring in good repair. Providing a property with no supply of electricity is probably a breach of their legal responsibility not to ‘interfere with the supply of gas, electricity, water, telephone services, or other services to the premises…’ .
If there was no power connected when your tenancy started, you can ask the landlord to pay the reconnection fee. If you can’t get hold of them, you can get the power reconnected yourself and ask them to reimburse you the reconnection fee. If your landlord refuses to pay, contact Tenancy Services for advice.
