These guides contain information to help keep you and others safe, covering several areas such as Fire Safety and Asbestos.

We've created two versions: one for houses, and one for flats.

Please remember that these guides do not replace your Tenancy Agreement, which details your duties, as well as your rights as a tenant, and our duties as a landlord.

For more information regarding your tenancy and Tenancy Agreement, including frequently asked questions, visit: www.boltonathome.org.uk/tenancy.

We hope that these Home Safety Guides provide the kind of safety guidance you'll find useful on several safety areas, all in one place.
