Around 445,000 smoke alarms and 40,000 carbon monoxide alarms have now been issued to the 46 fire and rescue authorities in England in a bid to encourage agents and landlords to meet their safety obligations ahead of their October deadline.
Statistics show that tenants are at least four times more likely to die in a fire in a home where there is no working smoke alarm.
From October, anyone renting out a propertywill need to ensure there is a smoke alarm on every floor of the home at the start of a tenancy as well as a carbon monoxide detector in rooms with a solid fuel appliance, which includes wood burners and open fires.
