Think you can spot all the hazards in a rental property?

As a private landlord, it is your responsibility to make sure your tenant’s homes are safe and hazard-free. A new online experience is putting hazard-spotting abilities to the test, with a virtual tour around a real rental property. This guest blog from Leeds Rental Standard introduces the Hazard Perception Test for landlords and explores why you should give it a go.

You’ve heard of the Hazard Perception Test for drivers. Now there’s one for landlords.

A free, online, interactive quiz to test whether your hazard-spotting skills are up to scratch. But, unlike the test for drivers, this one can also help you learn more about fixing hazards in your property. Your personalised feedback will show you any issues you missed, with info and links to help you find out more about how to fix them in real life.

The experience takes you through a real rental property in Leeds, with hazards and herrings dotted throughout. To test your perception skills, navigate through the house and garden, clicking on hazards along the way, before being presented with your score.

How will you score? Visit findthehazard.uk to find out.

The Hazard Perception Test is brought to you by Leeds Rental Standard. It’s supported by Unipol and NRLA and has been funded by UK Government. To find out more, visit findthehazard.uk
