Smoke and CO alarm regs passed

After a certain amount of 'umming and ahhing' between the Lords and the  Commons, the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations have been passed by Parliament.

This means the October 1st deadline is back on, despite the Lords concerns over the 'badly drafted legislation'. 

All letting agents and landlords need to now comply to a working smoke alarm on each floor of a rental property and a carbon monoxide alarm is installed in any living space with solid fuel appliances.
