# The Tenancy Information Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2023, Paragraph 4: Fitness for human habitation

Extent: N.I.

Your landlord is responsible for ensuring your property is safe. If:
Your property was built before 1945, and
Your tenancy began on or after 2007, and
The property is not a prescribed dwelling-house, and
It has no current certificate of fitness then, you can ask your local council to inspect it to ensure it is fit for human habitation.
Where a rented property does not meet the fitness standard, it is subject to rent control through the Rent Officer for Northern Ireland.
