Which rules apply in Viewpark?
Fire doors in Viewpark must satisfy national law for Scotland, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- The tolerable standard requires interlinked smoke alarms in the main living room and circulation spaces and a heat alarm in the kitchen; licensed HMOs must meet the council’s higher standard.
- Landlords must also be on the Scottish landlord register, renewed every 3 years.
- Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
