If you live in a household with two or more people who are not related to you (Houses in Multiple Occupation) then your household should have:
- Smoke alarm(s) on each storey of the building (as a minimum)
- Doors on rooms that lead to escape routes
- An escape route that does not pass through a kitchen
If you live in the area of Bedfordshire, the Bedfordshire Fire Rescue Service have an e-mail address where you can e-mail them in confidence to discuss concerns about inadequate fire safety standards.

If you have concerns about your accommodating being in breach of these standards and you live outside of Bedfordshire, you can speak to your local council.
