29 Carbon Monoxide What to do to be compliant with current carbon monoxide and smoke detector regulations? Smoke and Carbon Monoxide (England) Regulations 2015 All properties built since June 1992 (and all Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs)) must be fitted with mains operated smoke detector/alarms and with at least one detector per floor. From 11 th March 2015 there was a new legal requirement to fit smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in residential rental properties for all tenancies from 1 st October 2015.
30 These Regulations say: Carbon Monoxide A carbon monoxide alarm must be provided in any room of the premises which is used wholly or partly as living accommodation which contains a solid fuel burning combustion appliance. As from 1st December 2015, Scottish landlords are required to install a CO detector in every space containing a fixed combustion appliance. Northern Ireland: Where any combustion appliance is installed, reasonable provision must be made to detect and give warning of the presence of CO gas at levels harmful to people. It s been mandatory since 2012 to fit a CO alarm where a new or replacement combustion heating appliance is installed.
31 Myth Busters!!!! Myth: GSIUR Reg 36 = All and any type of Defect shall be reported on a Landlord Gas Safety Record (LGSR). Myth Buster: Only safety related defects, i.e. ID or AR defects on "relevant gas fittings", are required to be recorded on the LGSR. Comments: All safety defects must be addressed under 36(2) by the Landlord
32 Myth Busters!!!! Myth: GSIUR Reg 36 = All tenants own appliances shall be recorded on the LGSR. Myth Buster: Tenants own appliances are not required to be recorded on the LGSR. Comments: Through contractual agreements with the Landlord it would be agreed what, if any, information about the tenants own appliances they may wish to include on the LGSR.
33 Myth Busters!!!! Myth: Reg 36 = All and any type of Defect on tenants own appliances shall be recorded on the LGSR. Myth Buster: There is no requirement under Reg 36 to check, or record, any defects with tenants own appliances on the LGSR. Comments: There is no requirement to proactively check tenants own appliances except a 'Visual Inspection' if the gas has been interrupted and appliances are re-lit. Any safety defects encountered shall be dealt with in accordance with GIUSP
34 Myth Busters!!!! Myth: GSIUR Reg 36 = A safety check is the only legal requirement duty on Landlords to be completed within each 12 months on relevant gas fittings i.e. Landlords own appliances. Myth Buster: There should also be "effective maintenance" of appliances owned by the Landlord which is ongoing programme of regular inspections e.g. servicing Comments: This would normally be a full service of all landlord s appliances, along with a visual inspection of the rest of the installation and a gas tightness test.
35 Myth Busters!!!! Myth: GSIUR Reg 36 = Chimneys (flues) connected to tenants own appliances i.e. NOT "relevant gas fittings" must have performance checks. Myth Buster: This is not a requirement under this legislation or the L56 ACoP. Comments: Landlords will have certain duties for the fabric of the building under HSAWA. It would be the duty of the Landlord to undertake such duties. This maybe through contractual agreements with the gas business/engineer.
36 TB055 Duties of landlords (Date Issued 15/12/2015) This TB provides clear guidance of the minimum requirements for Landlords in relation to Regulation 36 You need to consider what your organisation requires with regard to Tenants appliances and all the defects identified However, this may depend on your contractual arrangements with your Contractor(s) CTS s recommendation would be to record all gas appliances (relevant and Tenant s) within a property and record all defects identified at the time of the visit The choice is yours on how you mitigate the risk!
37 Goods left behind: a landlord s obligations The Consumer Protection Act 1987 requires that when supplied in the course of a business (such as letting property), goods such as furniture, electrical appliances and other items of everyday consumer equipment are reasonably safe. Almost all goods found in the home are covered by the Act, whether new or second hand. The General Product (Safety) Regulations 1994 require that all goods must satisfy general safety provisions. Additionally, some high risk items, including upholstered furniture, electrical equipment and gas cooking appliances, are subject to control by other specific safety regulations.
38 Goods left behind: a landlord s obligations The legislation still applies if the landlord gifts the goods to the tenant, or if the goods have been left behind by previous tenants. Landlords should not presume that goods left behind by outgoing tenants automatically become their property. Goods left behind by an outgoing tenant do not become the property of the landlord unless they have either been bought for value or given. Some tenancy agreements will state that goods left behind are deemed gifted.
39 Goods left behind: a landlord s obligations If abandoned goods are still at a property when a new tenancy is created they will become the responsibility of the landlord. Similarly, a gas cooker will be subject to both the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and the Gas Cooking Appliances (Safety) Regulations In light of this, and given that landlords cannot know the history or age of goods left behind, such goods should be disposed of.
