If you mean smoke detectors

depends what year it was built.I cant remember if it was 1992 0r 1994 onwards there must be a mains powered smoke dectectors fitted. Anything earlier there is no requirement but it would be very silly not to fit at least battery ones.

HMO's i think have different rules but i am sure someone on the forum will let you know

as simon says what is a standard btl, if its your standard 2 bed flat 1 smoke in the passageway mains wired would suffice, if its a 2 bed house, 1 on each landing (interlinked if an easy option), as posted on other threads i wouldnt insist on interlinked if just adding them onto existing, if a rewire, yes, if one goes off regardless of where you would have to be mutton not to hear them!

you can get 10yr battery/mains ones quite cheap now and its piece of mind, battery ones, when they go off your tenant will prob remove the battery and forget to put it back in.
