Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarm law rejected by House of Lords

9/9/2015

The requirement was for a smoke alarm to be fitted on each floor and a carbon monoxide alarm to be fitted where there are solid fuel burning appliances and were due to come into force on the 1st October with fines of up to £5000 for non-compliance.

The draft regulations had not been approved by Parliament and the house of Lords have threw them out saying the regulations were poorly worded and not enough had been done to inform agents and landlords.

There was and still is confusion as at first it was believed that carbon monoxide detectors would be required where there were gas boilers and fires but this is not the case but something we felt should be included.

We would recommend that all landlords proceed as if the regulations will come into force from the 1st October as this is still a possibility.
