Can I record gas-safety, EICR, and Awaab Cat-1 status on the suite check?

Yes. The letting-agent suite request shape supports an optional `property.condition` block carrying three Renters' Rights Act 2025 / Awaab's Law fields:

- `gasSafetyExpiry`: ISO 8601 expiry date of the Landlord Gas Safety Record (LGSR). Annual renewal under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 reg 36(3). - `eicrExpiry`: ISO 8601 expiry date of the Electrical Installation Condition Report. 5-year renewal under the Electrical Safety Standards in the PRS (England) Regulations 2020. - `awaabHazardLevel`: HHSRS hazard level: `none`, `cat-2` (advisory), or `cat-1` (Awaab's Law fixed-window remedy applies).

Why these are agent-supplied and not pulled from a register: gas + EICR records sit in landlord-side document management, not a national register. HHSRS Cat-1 assessments are property-by-property surveyor judgements rather than authoritative public data. The agent records what they have; the suite computes derived warnings on the response:

- Gas or EICR expired: critical warning with the days-since-expiry count. - Gas or EICR expires within 90 days: warn-level with the days-to-go count. - Awaab Cat-1 flagged: critical warning citing the fixed-window remedy. - Awaab Cat-2 flagged: advisory warn-level.

The response shape is uniform whether you supply the fields or not (warnings: [] when nothing flags). Today the warnings render in the JSON response and on the Certaby UI; PDF rendering on the cert cover lands in a follow-up SCHEMA_VERSION bump.

Why this matters for letting agents under RRA-2025: from 2026 a landlord serving a Section 8 rent-arrears notice must evidence property-condition compliance (gas + EICR + no Cat-1 hazards) BEFORE the notice. Recording the fields at the AML stage means the conversation with the landlord lands early; an expired gas cert flagged at let-start is cheap to renew, expensive to discover during a Section 8 dispute.
