you own your home, or rent from a social or private landlord."

In practical terms, the law will require private homes to;
have at least one smoke alarm installed in the room most frequently used
have at least one smoke alarm in spaces such as hallways and landings
have at least one heat alarm in every kitchen
have a carbon monoxide detector

In addition, there will be a 10-year age limit for alarms and all alarms
will have to be ceiling-mounted, and should be interlinked.".........

I live in a flat with a smoke detector in the hall. On the basis of
counting transits, my hall must be the room most frequently used. Is
there a definition of 'use' as opposed to 'occupancy'? I assume most
working people spend more time in bed than in their living room?

There is a CO already (three in fact, one for each gas appliance)

I just need a heat alarm for the kitchen then?
