Fire Safety Guidance

The Government has issued guidance about how to make a home safe from fire.

Make your home safe from fire - GOV.UK

This means there is a consistent risk assessment approach in private rented properties by fire services and councils. Compliance with the guidance will also satisfy the HMO licensing requirement.
