EPC and leasing my house?

[pclsia]

I am renting my house out to a friend?

Am I legally obliged to obtain an EPC cert and if so, why?

What would be the dangers/ implications if I didnt?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

If you rent out the property without producing an EPC you can be fined by the trading standards department from your local council.

The link below is from Shelter's site, from your other post I think you may need to know what your other landlord's obligations are.
