The appliances screen (available on a lettings property) allows you to log whether a carbon monoxide (CO) detector/alarm is required (and its location) for a selected appliance

This is in response to The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022 which came into force in England from 01/10/2022 - for further detail, see this information from gov.uk:
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Amendment) Regulations 2022: guidance for landlords and tenants

The ability to report on which properties do/don’t have appliances with CO alarms will be available in future releases of AgencyCloud (available early 2023)
