Dated item on file

Quantified exposure on the open gaps
Up to £5,000Civil penalty per breach for the missing CO alarm, under the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015. The other two gaps carry no fixed fine — they invalidate possession notices and invite HSE enforcement instead. We quote only penalties the legislation actually sets.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015 (2022 amendment)
Exposure: Civil penalty of up to £5,000 per breach.
Fix: Fit a CO alarm in each room with a fixed combustion appliance and test at tenancy start.

Renters' Rights Act 2025 (phase 1 in force 1 May 2026; database launching from late 2026)
Once live: letting or advertising an unregistered property risks civil penalties up to £7,000, rising to £40,000 or prosecution for repeat/serious breaches.
Renters' Rights Act 2025, s.60 (power to extend Awaab's Law-style timescales to the private rented sector)
Not yet a legal requirement for private landlords — no commencement date is confirmed, and an extension isn't expected before 2027. Until then, the general Housing Act 1985 s.11 duty (repair within a 'reasonable time') applies. This is a readiness flag, not a current fine.
