Have you fitted mains wired interlinked smoke alarms on each floor, Heat alarm in the kitchen and CO alarms in ever room with a gas appliance.
When the gas Safe Certificate was carried out the gas Safe engineer is now required to check all the CO alarms.

Not so

Private sector landlords are required from 1 October 2015 to have at least one smoke alarm installed on every storey of their properties and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room containing a solid fuel burning appliance (eg a coal fire, wood burning stove).

There's no legal requirement for an interlinked mains wired smoke alarm.   

That's bad news for manufacturers of interlinked mains wired smoke alarms.

But good news for tenants who don't want to be jolted out of bed every time their neighbour two floors down burns the toast at 2am.

If I were the tenant and I saw this thread I'd be really quite put off by the "good LL".

I have a smoke alarm upstairs and one downstairs.  There is no gas in the house therefore no CO2 alarm is required.

Just as well or that alarm would be going off every time the tenant breathed out

A cooker isn't furniture, you should repair/replace it. It's not like the tenant can easily bring their own cooker as it would need wiring in.

Plenty of ovens on the market are plug in 13 amp and need no wiring in
