First ever eicr report failed

[littlespark]

I don’t think there will be an unsatisfactory report, and then a new satisfactory one to compare with.

You should at least get a copy of the satisfactory one, to prove to you, the tenant, that the accommodation you are paying for is safe.
Whatever was done to make it satisfactory is neither here nor there.

If you have concerns, you could approach citizens advice, but it sounds like one of the three, (landlord, agent, electrician) has pushed to get this done.

If you can, could you post photographs of the consumer unit, removing any address details, company names etc, and anything you might think looks a bit dodgy/ dangerous.

Am I reading this correct, or being stupid?
The tenant is being billed for remedial electrical work
It’s usually hard enough getting rent from them

A tenant wouldn't normally be billed for electrical remedial works at a rental property. This would be the landlord's responsibility.

He isn't being billed for it. He says he was sent the bill by mistake.
