General information, not legal advice. The alarm rules here are for England, and other nations differ.
Every year
Landlords must have gas appliances checked each year by a Gas Safe registered engineer (as reported by the Gas Safe Register).
Within 28 days
Give tenants a copy of the gas safety record within 28 days of each check, and new tenants before they move in (as reported by the Gas Safe Register).
Alarms
In England, a smoke alarm on each floor lived in, and a carbon monoxide alarm in rooms with a fixed combustion appliance since October 2022 (as reported by legislation.gov.uk).
Hot water safety
Stored hot water at 60C, flush taps and showers before a new tenant, keep tank lids on, remove dead legs. Formal testing is usually not needed for a simple domestic system (as reported by the HSE).
