It's important for tenants in Scotland to be aware of the responsibility that their landlord needs to adhere to. It's also the responsibility of the landlord to be up-to-date with the regulations to know what's expected of them in order to keep their tenants safe and their property compliant.
It is the landlord's responsibility to:
- Keep up-to-date with the building regulations
- Know what alarms are needed and how many
- Cover the cost of alarms (including maintenance)
- Advise tenants not to tamper with alarms
Please note: "A CO detection system is not required in an attached out-building or garage where there is no inter-connection with the house e.g. a door. To be clear, if there is no way that CO could reasonably be expected to find a path into the house there is no need for a detector."
