Landlords 247will not allow a new tenancy without a smoke alarm as standard on every floor. FACT.
- Install a smoke alarm on each floor of the premises on which there is a room used wholly or partly as living accommodation;
- Equip a carbon monoxide alarm in any room of the premises which is used wholly or partly as living accommodation and contains a solid fuel burning combustion appliance (e.g. a coal fire, wood burning stove);
- Check that each prescribed alarm is in proper working order on the day the tenancy begins if it is a new tenancy (this part only applies to “new” tenancies that start on and after the 1st of October 2015).
