It is recommended but not mandatory,

It's mandatory, if you're going to do it do it properly.

most rented accommodation I visit
don't have and they have passed an electrical inspection.

No they haven't, they've been tested by someone who doesn't know what
they're doing.

If you do put one in why not leave it in the loft if you have access.

I wish I had read this prior to cutting out a space for a recessed box to

it's controlling unless it's lockable in the off position.
