The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 are in effect for England and Wales from 1st October 2022. These regulations make specific changes to the requirements for social housing providers and landlords in relation to smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in their properties.
From 1st October 2022 all social housing landlords must ensure that the following are in place in each of their properties:
- At least one smoke alarm installed on each storey of the property where there is a room used as living accommodation. (This has been a legal requirement for private rented housing since 2015)
- One carbon monoxide alarm installed in all rooms used as living accommodation which contain a fixed combustion appliance (excluding gas cookers)
As well as ensuring that the alarms are installed, all landlords must ensure any installed alarms are suitable and fully working. Therefore must repair or replace any faulty smoke / carbon monoxide alarms immediately once they are aware of the fault.
