I tend not to believe a great deal without some evidence.

From Corby borough council:

Agreed. The TENANT has to seek permission. If someones goes to paint the house, is HE going to contact the council, or will he assume that permissions are granted. Our contract is with the tenant, we may not even know that the house is rented, which is why my clause is on ALL contracts. There is nothing as far as I am aware that puts us on the onus to spend an age contacting LLords who probably don;t care

If it's a gas appliance that needs sorting, believe me, he will care...

Perhaps you should re-read my post? I didn't suggest contacting the landlord. I said that given that the law requires tenants to have permission for certain works to be carried out, the onus is on you to ensure permission had been obtained, by asking to see a letter or email.

Would you build an extension without seeing planning consent? Would you buy a car without checking that the seller actually has the right to sell it? Same principle in law.

The landlord might prefer to use his own guy, better to ask first
