    The legionella and smoke documentation should be provided with each tenancy as proof you’ve (a) carried out a legionella risk assessment (which is a legal requirement) and (b) tested the smoke and CO alarms on the day the tenants move in (which is a legal requirement).

    However, neither of these documents affect section 21. The documents required for a section 21 notice are EPC, gas safety and how to rent guide.
