Landlords are required to assess the risk of fire in each of their rental properties – but some landlords do not know where to start and find it rather daunting leading to total avoidance so landlords with lower risk properties may wish to use a template to help guide them through the process.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service have some really useful fire risk assessment information on their website which is worth a look at Fire risk assessment - NFRS

The NLA have also commissioned a Fire Risk Assessment Template for their members- NRLA website

Landlords who own larger properties, HMOs or higher risk layouts/tenancies , are advised to seek external professional help from a range of companies who operate in this field. For more information on this please email dash@derby.gov.uk
