Fire Safety and Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Safety Compliance Letters and Templates

Landlords managing residential tenancies in England have a legal duty to ensure the safety of their properties through compliance with fire, smoke and carbon monoxide regulations.

Fire Safety, Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Obligations for Landlords

Under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, landlords must provide tenants with clear fire safety information, including guidance about about fire doors and emergency procedures. In addition, The Fire Safety Act 2021 and Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 set out a range of responsibilities for “Responsible Persons” to manage fire risks within residential properties.

The Example of Fire Safety Information to be provided to Tenant template is a practical tool for landlords to communicate essential fire safety instructions and obligations clearly to tenants. Landlords should also refer to the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 Summary for guidance on compliance requirements.

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Legislation including the Housing Act 2004, the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015, and the Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 requires landlords to:

Install a smoke alarm on every storey of the property containing living accommodation;
Install a carbon monoxide alarm in rooms containing solid fuel-burning appliances (e.g. wood-burning stove), or certain gas appliances;
Test all alarms at the start of each tenancy and provide tenants with confirmation that the alarms installed are installed and working.

The Landlord’s Letter Confirming Smoke Alarm Testing is a useful document for landlords to formally notify tenants and maintain evidence of compliance.
