Each year, there are an estimated 50 deaths and 1,100 hospitalisations as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. In response, on 1st October, a new law went into force which will require landlords to install working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in all of their properties. The intention of the law is to address the insufficient protection currently in place for tenants. Tenants that live in properties that do not have either a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm are four times more likely to die or be injured in a fire.
