However, it would be useful for councils to take into account that most landlords do not have spare funds just lying around ready to implement the latest government initiative. At last count; a good fire alarm was between £1,500 to £5,000 depending on your supplier and location. Most landlords are good and decent people who want to do the right thing but don't tarnish us all with the same brush as the rogues who continue operaeting outside of the law.
