The Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015 (henceforth “the Regulations”) are designed to tackle the least energy-efficient properties in England and Wales – those rated F or G on their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The Regulations establish a minimum standard for both domestic and non-domestic privately rented property, affecting new tenancies from 1 April 2018.
In accordance with Regulation 33 and 34 local authorities are responsible for enforcing the minimum level of energy provisions within their area.
