All rental properties are required to have an EPC rating of E or higher.
Some properties with F or G ratings can be rented out, but landlords must have an official government exemption in place.
The Labour government has confirmed its plans for all rental properties to have an EPC rating of at least a C, by 2030.
Since 2018, when the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) rules were introduced, the minimum EPC rating for a rental home has been set at E.
Government regulations require all rental properties to have an EPC rating of E or higher before being let to tenants.
Since March 2022, all privately rented homes in Scotland must have an EPC rating between A and E.
All rented homes must be rated D or above by 31 March 2025, although it’s possible this date will be altered because of delays caused by Covid.
In Northern Ireland, EPCs are a requirement for anyone selling or renting a property – with a fine of £200 for landlords without one.
But there is no set minimum standard to be met.

Currently, any property in England, Scotland or Wales that is either being built, marketed for sale or let as an entire property requires an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
Since the 1st of October 2008, landlords letting whole properties must have a valid EPC rated at 'E' or above to provide to prospective tenants.
The Government's proposal in the Bill is that rental properties meet a compulsory energy performance certificate rating of band 'C' on new tenancies by December 2025, and on all rented properties by December 2028.
The Secretary of State must amend the Energy Efficiency (Private Rented Property) (England and Wales) Regulations 2015 to require that, subject to subsection (2)'(a) all new tenancies must have an energy efficiency performance of at least EPC Band C from 31 December 2025; and(b) all existing tenancies must be at least EPC Band C from 31 December 20 2028 where practical, cost-effective and affordable as defined under section 1(4).
The Bill states:
EPCs are valid for ten years.
After this time, landlords are only required to get a new EPC if they are re-letting to a new tenant.

In April 2018 the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards came into force which means that generally a property cannot be let where the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is lower than E.
An EPC of E is the minimum acceptable standard and a rating of F and G is below standard.
If you currently let a property which has a rating below E (F or G) you must either: carry out work to bring it up to an EPC rating of at least E apply for an exemption.
The law has set a maximum amount that a landlord is required to spend on improving the EPC rating which is £3,500.
