But the OP does state this had one done 6 months ago. Mandatory EICR's would render them useless IMHO
Yes but maybe if they were done yearly or at least every change of tenancy it may reduce the number of bad installations. Rented properties get used and abused and damage can just be botched and its "rentable" again.
Imho properties should have a valid landlord cert before it can be let.
As per the photo, this looks like its been in place for years so the "blame" rests on the shoulders of the person who's signature is on the EICR done 6 months ago.
Mandatory EICR's done by goons like this won't help ANYONE.
a few more pics might help i hope this is in a cupboard so that it cant be touched by the tenant
at the least the bare conductors need to be made safe temporarily

My first thought as well.Anything GREEN growing nearby?Windows looking like they've suffered from heavy condensation?Maybe miles away here, but any chance it's been done by a previous tennent to bypass a electric meter? If not the incoming meter, poss one fitted by landlord?
This attached picture shows what some contractor at some point has qualified as tails. This cable runs from the front of house where the service head is directly to the rear of the house (some 30 meters of cable run) to supply a 6 way Consumer unit in the kitchen which feeds everything in the house barring the lighting circuit. The contractors isolator had been installed recently (no more than 5 years ago) and this cable had been terminated directly into the output of the isolator.
The tenant of the house, a beautiful young lady, with 2 lovely young children is so very lucky she decided to have a cooker circuit installed and pay for it herself because her landlord refused to do so.View attachment 16069
