I guess you can test the presence of gas leak if you spray a solution of liquid dish soap dissolved in water around the concrete where the gas pipe is.
if you notice that the size of bubble is getting bigger and bigger after you do the spraying then it is confirmed.There is a gas leak.
Do you feel an smell of gas in your property?
You should call the gas company to check right away.
See what the gas company says or your plumber say.You would have to decide if tenant can stay or put them in a hotel depending how long it takes to solve the gas leak if there is any.

Wrong wrong wrong. This is bad advice. This is not a do it yourself handy Andy job. You need a licensed Plumber or Gas specialist to check for a gas leak. I can see you in front of a judge trying to explain how you sprayed soapy water on the gas pipe and did not see any bubbles. Two hours latter BOOM. You would loose in court big time. If you smell gas, then get off the computer and call the gas company or Plumber, to shut it off.
