We'll explain what Local Government Reorganisation is, outline the different options being considered, and show you how to get involved. Sign up for the session (opens new window).

Private renting housing standards for landlords

Information on smoke and carbon monoxide alarms

All privately rented homes must be fitted with a working smoke alarm on each floor of the property. A working carbon monoxide alarm should also be fitted in a room that has a solid fuel burning appliance. You could be fined if you do not comply with this.
