FAQ

What are the current smoke and CO alarm rules? Since 1 October 2022, landlords in England must fit a smoke alarm on every storey with living accommodation and a carbon monoxide alarm in every room with a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers). See gov.uk/government/publications/smoke-and-carbon-monoxide-alarms-explanatory-booklet-for-landlords.

Who is responsible for testing the alarms? The landlord must ensure alarms are in working order on the first day of each new tenancy. During the tenancy, tenants are typically responsible for routine testing; landlords must repair or replace faulty alarms once notified.
