I'm new to the HMO scene and have had two properties brought up to HMO standards. While the Edinburgh Council where carrying out there inspections, they did say that I'm required to test smoke alarms every week! And record results. I thought testing every week was overkill but just wanted to confirm this. The report supplied by the council does not seem to indicate testing on a weekly basis. I was also told by the council that testing of the fire alarms can be passed to the tenants.
TBH - I can't see a tenant allowing me access every week to test alarms. How do the experienced HMO agents/Landlords comply?
