The Government is to spend £3m on giving out smoke and carbon monoxide alarms for private rented homes.
The move follows the announcement that the alarms will become mandatory in all private rental homes from October 10.
Fire minister Penny Mordaunt said that new funding will provide around 445,000 smoke and 40,000 carbon monoxide alarms.
These will be free from the 46 fire and rescue authorities in England to distribute to private landlords at their discretion.

Halloween is upon us, and while we’re all in the spirit of ghosts and ghouls, you might be considering buying or selling a property with a bit of a spooky reputation. Maybe that charming Victorian home with a south-facing garden, high ceilings, period features, and perfect attic conversion potential has more to it than meets the eye.
Buying or selling a property is an exciting journey, but the jargon along the way can be confusing. One common phrase you might come across is “offers in excess of” (OIEO). What does this actually mean, and how does it affect your buying or selling strategy?
Taking the step to buy a house with a partner is exciting and marks a significant milestone in your relationship. Whether you’re pooling your finances to get on the property ladder or planning for a long-term home together, it’s important to make sure that everything is set up correctly—both legally and financially—to avoid complications down the line.
