tenants to legionella is properly assessed

Letting Agents
“Where a managing (or letting) agent is
used, the management contract should
clearly specify who has responsibility for
maintenance and safety checks, including
managing the risk from legionella.”

It is important to review assessments
periodically in case anything changes in
the systems.”
