Smoke, heat and carbon alarms in rented accomodation.

Ours not to reason why.
Fife council insisted on a smoke alarm in a hallway cupboard on a HMO property as it had a fridge in it.

Thats just going overboard, when there is a optical in the circulation area, outside the cupboard.......Glad were covered by English law where the BS guidance is followed.

If in correct there is currently no clarity as to if they are to be mains powered other that a vague comment about bringing it into line with that of new builds.

i did speak to Aico the other day about this and they are equally confused / sitting in limbo not knowing.
