@cherie11 - what point are you making, because you're fundamentally wrong - not that it matters to the OP almost a year later. But if you're going to be here, be accurate.

It's only page 8 that's necromancy.

I think it's just a would-be spammer bumping up their post count.

I sent a tenant a letter requesting them to arrange the gas inspection and gave a date to do a home check. - why aren't you arranging it? She replied by text saying away on holiday for at least 3 weeks and a friend had found my "note" (letter in sealed envelope) Can I let the gas engineer in as the certificate is needed? - if you provide sufficient notice Also she has left upstairs window open and when I asked how long she will be away she says a friend will be house sitting for the last week (I believe she has someone staying there already) - that's perfectly fine. Have noticed she has painted front door and also has obviously installed some system as there are now wires going up the front of the house up to the roof. Can she allow people to stay in the property if she is not there?

Ofcourse she can, it's her home.

The landlord will pay a huge fine if the tenants bring in people to live there, so this is definitely wrong advice . Never heard of HMO? 
Beware 

Could you cite one case where a landlord who had no idea what his tenants were doing and who engaged fully with the council when they discovered and rectified the situation  has been prosecuted and or fined ?
I  am sorry to say I detect scaremongering when you boldly state that people will be fined as I believe that councils will always try for a negotiated outcome
Ps my understanding is that the extra people who might make it into an HMO are not the landlords  tenants
