New Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide Detector Legislation for Rented Properties

From 1st October 2015 ALL rental properties must have at least one working smoke detector on each floor. This applies to ALL tenancies, whether new or existing.

A property with a solid fuel appliance must also have a working carbon monoxide detector. These must be tested on the first day of the tenancy.

NOTE: While carbon monoxide detectors are not currently a legal requirement for gas boilers, it is strongly advised that you have carbon monoxide detectors fitted.
