Ammo for what? What are you actually trying to achieve?
Resist eviction?
Enforce repairs/maintenance?
Or just get the LL in trouble?

Pretty sure they can't backdate a certificate.

In any event, you must be given a copy of the certificate; if it's inaccurate, report the person completing it to gas safe. Make sure you get your copy.

So, you've been renting for 5 years from a friend and, by the sounds of it, he did you a big favour by not asking for a deposit, and now you want to dump him in it because he would like his house back?

Why do you want to go down the route of contacting his mortgage lender and HMRC? How do you know for a fact he hasn't told HMRC about the rental income?

As it's a friend you've been renting from, why not try and do it in an amicable fashion? You'll have to move out eventually anyway so you'd better make preparations now. It may take up to 6 months but you will get evicted eventually if he really wants you out. He's quite entitled to ask for his house back. You can make it awkward but why would you do that? Just for spite?

By the sound of it, you should be wanting to get out just for the sake of your kids.
