    Fab! Did he did it? Do you have direct contact with the landlord, that’s great.
    Ha! No he hasn't been yet but he has sent apologies. I am sure he will get it done over the next week as he is usually very quick with sorting things out.
  • It is the responsibility of the landlord to keep the carbon monoxide alarms before givng for tenancy.

    OP, if you think £12 is worth you lives just wait a week, Or 2. . . .

    "After the landlord’s test on the first day of the tenancy, tenants should take responsibility for their own safety and test all alarms regularly to make sure they are in working order. Testing monthly is generally considered an appropriate frequency for smoke alarms. If tenants find that their alarm(s) are not in working order during the tenancy, they are advised to arrange the replacement of the batteries or the alarm itself with the relevant landlord."


    Again how safe is it to go without a fire alarm, I would say not 1 Night, That will be the Night you die in your bed, It happens.
