    AFAIK it's only compulsory for LLs to provide fire extinguishers or blankets for HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation).
  • ok, thank you its not a multiple occupancy

    You can still pick up a fire blanket from IKEA for a couple of pounds.
    In the same way smoke alarms are not compulsory but it could save your tenants lives so can you afford what £25/30 for a couple of smoke alarms and a fire blanket ?
    Can be offset against tax you need to pay on profit from renting !
