For the common parts it is the landlord. Landlord is required to carry out a Fire Risk Assessment on common parts annually and comply with its findings. The lessee would have responsibilty for ensuring for example there was a working smoke alarm inside the living accommodation. In his absence this would devolve to a tenant, I believe.
if it is a house you are renting - you are.
You might get a quote and then ask him if he wants to reimburse - he may.
This sort of detail should not be in the class of making or breaking the lease. If the lack of fire thingeys is just a sign you arent getting a good deal, then give notice and move....

daffy that was because you had a fire down the road
they did one for me - and the rest of my tenants
one of whom I had to bellow thro the letter box - yes you DO want a free fire alarm....
You may recollect that Guy fawkes before last, a kid managed to blow his finger off on the very FIRST day of selling of fireworks - that was the fire that did it for us....
I am not suggesting that Home deeth should incinerate some little old lady....

Should be the landlords responsibility to ensure a thorough fire risk assessment is carried out and updated when needed - they can find themselves in serious legal trouble if properties aren't up to fire safety standards. Although, the following blog sheds some light on who does and doesn't need an FRA.
