Dear [Tenant's name(s)],
I am writing to let you know that the annual gas safety inspection for the above property is due. As your landlord, I am legally required to have all gas appliances and installations checked every 12 months by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Please confirm whether the proposed date and time is convenient by contacting me on [phone number] or [email address] by [date — 3–5 days from this letter]. If the proposed time is not suitable, please suggest an alternative and I will do my best to accommodate you.
Please ensure that access is available to all rooms with gas appliances, including the boiler cupboard.
Thank you for your co-operation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
[Landlord/Agent name]
