One of the largest landlords?

Private landlords in the UK are expected to keep their properties to a certain standard and to provide an EPC to tenants.

But what about one of the largest "landlords" within the UK - the M.O.D? The MOD own thousands of houses (it was reported by the Daily Mail that they have 2,400 sitting empty) and thousands of armed forces families living in these houses, are the MOD providing EPCs for these properties?

Surely with the EU directive it would be essential to have these properties kept to a good standard and insulated correctly to save energy, carbon footprint of a base and to save on fuel bills for the families of serving personell?

Admittedly it would take a while to provide EPCs for the entire stock of houses that the MOD currently owns but I do think it is something that should happen. After all the MOD are technically landlords in this situation.
