CSG Electric Planning on DIY Electrics – Is It Even Legal | Page 11

You must be the owner-occupier
One of the first important things to understand is that the rules applying
to a homeowner performing DIY only apply to an owner-occupier and
not to any work carried out on property that has been rented out or is
multi-dwelling. For example it is easy enough to get a permit for some
minor electrical work in your own dwelling where you are the only
family. But you will not qualify for a permit for DIY work carried on
say a renovated basement you are renting out. As a result almost all
regulators will require that you are the owner-occupier of the property.
