From today (1st April 2020), landlords must not grant a new tenancy (including the renewal of an existing contract), or continue to let a property where the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is below the minimum permitted energy efficiency level of a band E.
This means that anyone whose rental property has an F or G EPC rating will no longer be able to legally let them out, unless an applicable exemption applies.
Given the current lockdown situation, the Scottish government have decided to postpone the implementation, which was due to start on 1st October 2020, indefinitely.
Unfortunately, at the time, the English government do not seem minded to postpone this.
