Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms compulsory from 1 October
All rented properties in England must provide a carbon monoxide alarm in rooms used as living accommodation where there is a fixed combustion appliance, such as gas heaters and boilers. New Regulations once approved will come into force on 1st October 2022The The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 amends the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015. Previously the requirement only applied to solid fuel combustion appliances, such as wood burners. The rules will, however, not extend to gas cookers.
A new requirement of the amended rule is to ensure when a tenant reports to the landlord or letting agent that an alarm may not be in proper working order, the alarm must be repaired or replaced.

"Margaret and the Anker Lettings team provide brilliant customer service and professionalism that balances the needs of both tenant and landlord. I have spent decades renting across the UK and my experience with Anker was easily the best. They know their patch, are super efficient but best of all they really care and treat tenants like people and not just numbers. Very highly recommended!!"
