Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 sets out the criteria that must be met to comply with the Repairing Standard.
There should be at least:
One functioning smoke alarm in the room which is frequently used by the occupants for general daytime living purposes
One functioning smoke alarm in every circulation space, such as hallways and landings
One heat alarm in every kitchen
All alarms should be interlinked
Hardwired mains powered with standby power
Advise your tenants to test them weekly and never remove the batteries. Make an emergency plan should the worst happen.
