Which rules apply in Brynmawr?
Fire doors in Brynmawr 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.
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- Landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales, and those who manage their own lets need a Rent Smart Wales licence.
