Frequently asked questions about Smoke Alarm Certificate

Are smoke alarms mandatory in rental properties?
Yes. The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 require smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms in rooms with fixed combustion appliances (except gas cookers) in English rental properties. Heat alarm requirements apply in Scotland under separate legislation (Housing (Scotland) Act 2022).

For new builds and major renovations, Building Regulations require interlinked alarms (LD2 standard). For existing rental properties, standalone alarms are acceptable under the 2015 regulations, but interlinked is strongly recommended.
