Working smoke alarms must be installed on every storey of living accommodation. The regulations require landlords to ensure alarms are installed in their properties with effect from 1 October 2015. After that, the landlord (or someone acting on behalf of the landlord) must ensure all alarms are in working order at the start of each new tenancy and periodically.
We organise an industry specialist to check all alarms every 6 months, as well as carrying out in-house checks each month to ensure the working safety of all alarms, We also comply with the City Of York Councils’ guidelines for HMO licensing and have Carbon Monoxide detectors on each floor.
