    The responsible person is usually the freeholder, managing agent, residents’ management company, right-to-manage company or another person with control of the premises.

    Small blocks with common parts can still have fire safety duties. The duty depends on control of common areas and the building’s fire safety arrangements.

    HMOs and shared houses often have higher fire safety risks because of shared accommodation, escape routes and occupancy arrangements. The exact requirements depend on the property type and layout.

    A fire risk assessment is required where a building containing two or more domestic premises has common areas covered by fire safety law, such as shared entrances, corridors, staircases and escape routes.
