Energy Performance Certificates: When to Renew for Rentals

Hello,

Could you tell me when we have to have an EPC done when it has run out?  I 'googled' this, and it says only when you change tenant, but our letting agency says they need to be done as soon as they run out.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)

Since 1 October 2008, landlords have been required to make an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) available to prospective tenants when a property is being advertised for sale or let. The purpose of the EPC is to show prospective tenants the energy performance of the dwelling they are considering renting.
