Updating electrical in rental

Ricardo P.

I have a SFH which I'm currently in the process of updating to get it ready to rent. The house was built in 1961 and has one of the old type screw in fuse boxes instead of a breaker panel. Electrical work is not my strong suit and I'm wondering if this is something that needs to be upgraded? I had a previous tenant who lived in the property for 3 years and never had any problems with the electric, but I don't know if the old fuse boxes pose any sort of safety problem.
