I have found a dangerous gas fitting in a rented house which was a result of a lack of maintenance. How should these be reported?

These fittings would not be reportable under RIDDOR. However landlords have duties to maintain gas appliances, flues and pipe work in a safe condition. Should gas appliances be found in rented accommodation which is related to a lack of maintenance, details should be sent to HSE as a complaint. HSE will then decide whether or not to investigate these matters further.
