Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are required in all rented properties throughout England, according to the results of a government consultation published on the 23rd November 2021.
On 1st October 2022, the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 will take effect.
During the consultation, it was proposed that the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 be amended, extending the existing private rented legislation to socially rented properties; it also considered the question of whether the current legislation was adequate.
The legislation also removed the word "solid" from the requirements for installing CO alarms.
The social housing white paper outlines several reforms, including these regulatory updates.
In order to provide residents with greater protection, several amendments have been made to the requirements for CO alarms.
