Why would anyone claiming to have electronic skills put up with an RCD
constantly tripping?

And in a 16 year old property that is to be let, does it NEED to meet
current regulations anyway?

I'd guess your view is tenants should be grateful for anything their
gracious landlord provides.

passing a test and working properly are not necessarily the same thing. I
remember visiting a school somewhere in the west country where they had
radio reception problems. The problem was a faulty radio. "But its just
passed a test!". - PAT test - it was perfectly safe.
