CDM requirements on Landlords and Tenants carrying out DIY works posted by Helen Fennemore Jones in the CDM forum on the Safety Matters health and safety community website https://www.aisolutions.co.uk/community/Forums/CDM/CDM-requirements-on-Landlords-and-Tenants-carrying-out-DIY-works en-gb Copyright 2026, Ai Solutions Ltd Fri, 18 Aug 2017 11:12:13 GMT Ai Solutions Rss Generator Hello there A council acts as a Landlord by owning a domestic property which is let out using Assured Short Hold Tenancy Agreements. I understand that if we were to instruct any works to contractors, we would be the client and CDM Regs would apply, however: a) If the resident was to carry out DIY works within the property, would CDM apply? b) If it does, how would this work under the regs? c) If the resident asks a contractor to carry out the works, would they become the Client and Regs would then apply? d) What responsibilities would the Landlord have to monitor? Any help would be appreciated! https://www.aisolutions.co.uk/community/Forums/CDM/CDM-requirements-on-Landlords-and-Tenants-carrying-out-DIY-works#entry1184 nospam@nospam.com (Helen Fennemore Jones) /community/Forums/CDM/CDM-requirements-on-Landlords-and-Tenants-carrying-out-DIY-works#entry1184 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 11:12:13 GMT
