Legionnaires disease in domestic, rented properties

More and more frequently, legionella related deaths and illnesses are being found in relation to domestic properties, and are being highlighted in the media. The risk in rented properties, is that if any death or illness caused by legionella were to happen, the Landlord or Managing Agent of the property would be liable. The landlord or managing agent would then face a fine of an unlimited amount, which would be decided by a court of law. Legionella is a potentially fatal disease, there are also less severe types of Legionellosis, for example Pontiac fever, which although is not usually fatal, is a hazard to health.

Some articles have been is the national press recently, and links to these stories are here:

• Grandad killed by legionnaires disease caused by garden hose

• Deadly legionella lurking in approximately 1.5 million UK homes

Many companies and service providers such as EPC/Gas Cert & inventory have started offering this service, but without the required level of competency and offering poor quality documents. This leaves the landlord, the company who appointed the service provider and most importantly the tenant at risk, should any issues arise in a property.
