This Section 21 requirement appears met: property had no gas supply
That removes the gas-safety certificate branch from the Section 21 analysis on its own facts.
Legal basis for this outcome
This outcome is based on Prescribed Requirements Regulations 2015. Because the property had no gas supply, this single requirement appears met on the facts entered, but other Section 21 requirements can still make the notice invalid.
Legal conclusion: No obvious issue identified. Confidence: High confidence.
How the checker uses this point: Where there was no gas supply, the checker does not treat missing gas-safety paperwork as a defect.
Why it matters legally: The gas-safety branch only matters if the property had a gas supply. That makes the gas-supply question a scope point inside the Section 21 document chain.
What could change the answer: The answer can change if the landlord can prove an equivalent prescribed notice, earlier service of the document, or a later corrected document. If the tenant only has part of the paperwork, the omitted pages may matter.
What to gather
- The full notice bundle, including every page and attachment served with it.
- Email attachments, WhatsApp messages, or covering letters showing what documents were sent and when.
- Any later replacement document or corrected notice, if one was served.
What to do next
- Treat this as one point in the chain, not as a final answer on the whole notice.
- Run the full Section 21 checker because other defects may still matter.
- Keep the underlying documents in case the landlord's evidence differs from what you were told.

- What evidence usually matters most?
- The full notice bundle, including every page and attachment served with it. Email attachments, WhatsApp messages, or covering letters showing what documents were sent and when. Any later replacement document or corrected notice, if one was served.
