Further information and Links

If you are a tenant in a rented boat with concerns about CO, raise the issues with your landlord or letting agent without delay. If your concerns are not dealt with, go to the local council for help. If you feel unwell get medical help straightaway.

If you are a tenant afloat...

The law provides several additional protections for tenants including this:

If your landlord has provided LPG appliances, he/she must arrange for an annual gas safety check to be carried out by a Gas Safe Registered engineer

If you are a tenant your landlord should provide CO alarms, see this page for guidance.
