    Maybe because tenants like them just like home owners do? Maybe because most tenants will treat it with care just like home owners do?

    Well in this case clearly not......

    The danger with gas is that someone could leave the ring lit and the flame be blown out, causing a gas escape.
    The only way that can happen is if the flame sensors on the burners are broken, or if it's a really, REALLY ancient hob.

    The former would certainly fail the annual gas safety check, and I suspect the latter would, too.

    All new hobs have flame safety devices to prevent this.

    Good.I've never had a gas cooker to know that and my dad died twenty years ago, before this new technology.


    My halogen hob has a very clear indication that it is hot; a clearly seen red light.
