Final warning before legal action — multiple appointments missed
Final Warning
This is the final letter before legal action is taken. You cannot force entry without a court order. Seek legal advice if access continues to be refused.
[Landlord/Agent name and address]
[Date]
Dear [Tenant's name(s)],
I have written to you on [date of Letter 1] and[date of Letter 2] requesting access for the annual gas safety inspection. Despite these letters, access has not been provided.
If you do not allow access for the gas safety inspection by[final deadline date], I will take the following action:
I must also remind you that the annual gas safety check is carried out for your protection. Faulty gas appliances can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, gas leaks, and explosions. Refusing access puts you and any other occupants at serious risk.
Please contact me immediately on [phone number] or [email address] to arrange access.
Yours sincerely,
[Landlord/Agent name]

Legal Note: You cannot force entry without a court order. If the tenant continues to refuse access, seek legal advice before taking any further action.
