A survey of landlords has found that hundreds of thousands of tenants are living in unsafe housing with missing smoke or carbon monoxide alarms as landlords aren’t meeting obligations on repairs that they are responsible for.

Work to maintain and service fire alarms at a high-rise building in Margate, is being delayed further despite an enforcement notice being issued.

The owner of the Newgrange Care Home in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire has pleaded guilty to five offences against fire safety legislation after two of the residents died in a fire.

An enforcement notice has been handed to London Bridge tube station after fire safety breaches were found in an assessment by London Fire Brigade.

Serial offender, landlord Jack Collins, has been fined £20,000 after being found guilty of failing to protect the safety of his tenants.
