Legislative requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms

As of 1 October 2022, all properties in the private rented sector in England must ensure that a carbon monoxide alarm is fitted in every room with a fuel burning appliance, with the exception of rooms only containing a gas cooker. The legislation also requires landlords to take action when tenants report a faulty alarm to them. The regulations apply to both houses and flats and also to HMOs; and are included in HMO licences.
