Fire safety advice for landlords

Make sure your building is safe

These regulations apply to all buildings in England that contain two or more domestic premises (including the residential parts of mixed-use buildings) although there are more requirements depending on the height as explained in the guide. 

These buildings are mainly blocks of flats (whether purpose-built or converted from another type of building, such as a house or office building), but also include blocks used for student accommodation. 

Check your fire safety responsibilities by looking at the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
