Here is what usually applies to a Ryde job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- 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.

- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
