The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015

The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015, due to come into effect in October this year is still subject to Parliamentary approval but is widely agreed that it will happen. 

When it comes to tenant safety, nothing should get in the way. But similarly to electrical safety certificates/condition reports also still not required by law, it will come down to your own conscious as to how you wish to proceed as a Landlord with rental property in Wales. 

The draft legislation can be viewed here

If your property is managed by us and want to ensure your property and tenants are protected, please give us a call to arrange installation of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. 

If you are a tenant and you have a smoke detector in your property, we recommend that it is tested at least once a week to ensure that should the worst happen the alarm will work. If you don't have one then we recommend requesting one from your landlord or if you are managed by us, please do not hesitate in giving us a call to request one on your behalf.
