October 2022.

From that date, all relevant landlords must:

– ensure that at least one smoke alarm is equipped on each storey of their homes where there is a room used as living accommodation. This has been a legal requirement in the private rented sector since 2015;

– ensure that a carbon monoxide alarm is equipped in any room used as living accommodation which contains a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers); and

– ensure that faulty smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are repaired or replaced. The requirements are enforced by local authorities, which can impose a fine of up to £5,000 where a landlord fails to comply with a remedial notice.
