From October 2015 it will be mandatory that a
carbon monoxide alarm is fitted in
every room in a rental property that contains a 'solid fuel burning combustion
appliance' and for smoke
alarms to be fitted on every
floor of any rented property where a room is used as living accommodation,
for all new tenancies.
According to a survey of tenants carried out by Axa
Business Insurance, some 71% of landlords have not yet organised a carbon
monoxide alarm in their rental property.
The poll of almost 500 tenants also found that 54% are
yet to install a fire alarm and 43% have failed to arrange an annual gas safety
check.
If you would like to ensure that you are kept up-to-date
with the latest legislation, please contact me to discuss how we can assist
further.
