Which rules apply in Telford?

Here is what usually applies to a Telford 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.
  • 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.
