Deaf Tenant and Smoke Alarms
I have two profoundly deaf tenants in different properties.
One is very proactive and has installed smoke alarms with a strobe light to warn him; the other is a vibrating pad that sits under his pillow when asleep.
The other tenant has confirmed he has not installed additional equipment to alert him.
The property has numerously hard-wired battery backup smoke/heat alarms.
Do I have a further responsibility to place extra measures in his flat due to his disability?
I am thinking of the risk assessment section that mentions vulnerable people. Or is this the tenant’s responsibility?
