For a cooker; Leaks, clearances/spacings, ventilation, flame picture and stability/bypass rate, gas rate/pressure, stability, safety devices, doors hinges /seals etc, levelness, ignition, external factors, hose type/condition and bayonet height/orientation. Pipework etc as with any other appliance.

ie much the same list, typed before I wondered if you were a spoof.

Most landlords and landladies are only interested in having a bit of paper to keep the agent happy.

I have recently done one because the agent refused to pass on the rent until the landlord had one.

Not at all - they're only checks, most of which would be done inside a minute. Which would you not do!
Couple of minutes for a gas rate, and you go off and do something else while the ovens warming so you can check it goes to bypass ok.
