Information for landlords

From this page you can find information on how to keep your premises safe from fire and the legal obligations you need to fulfil.

You can view the latest news from the Fire Protection Team on Twitter but if you would like any further information/guidance please contact us.

This information is for persons responsible for blocks of flats, Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) or other living accommodation with communal areas.

Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS) is committed to keeping our community and the businesses in our community safe, by offering guidance and support as well as enforcing fire safety legislation.

Accountability for ensuring the premises is safe lies with the assigned responsible person. The guidance below will help businesses meet their legal requirements.

Although in the first instance contacts should be made with your local Private Sector Housing team regarding blocks of flats, HMOs or other living accommodation with communal areas, NFRS will offer advice and guidance for the premises.
