Fire Alarms
As a landlord you have a legal responsibility to ensure a functioning smoke alarm is installed on each storey of your property and a carbon monoxide detector in any room containing a solid fuel burning appliance. Additionally, you must test the alarms at the start of every new tenancy.
A fine of up to £5000 can be imposed for failure to comply with these regulations.
You can read more about The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 on the UK government’s website.
