EICR reminders and electrical compliance
Track the five-yearly Electrical Installation Condition Report and book a registered electrician before it expires.
Private rented homes in England must have a satisfactory EICR carried out at least every five years, with a copy provided to tenants and to the local authority on request. An expired or unsatisfactory report puts you in breach of the electrical safety regulations.
DR Rent stores your EICR, tracks the expiry date, and reminds you ahead of time so you can arrange the inspection and any remedial work in good time.

DR Rent counts down to your EICR renewal and reminds you before it lapses.
Registered electricians
Book a qualified electrician covering your postcode for the inspection and remedials.
Remedial follow-up
