Fire doors in Prestatyn must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Fitness for human habitation rules require mains-powered, interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where there is a gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance.
- Landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales, and those who manage their own lets need a Rent Smart Wales licence.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
