  2. Overview

  3. Energy Bill Requirements • From April 2016 landlords of residential properties will not be able to unreasonably refuse requests from their tenants for consent to energy efficiency improvements, where financial support is available, such as the Green Deal and/or the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). • From April 2018, private rented properties must be brought up to a minimum energy efficiency rating of ‘E’. This provision will make it unlawful to rent out a house that does not reach this minimum standard. • This requirement is subject to there being no upfront financial cost to landlord i.e. they have either reached “E” or carried out the maximum package of measures funded under the Green Deal and/or ECO (even if this does not take them up to an ‘E’ rating).
