Which rules apply in Herefordshire?

Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.

Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.
