However, as previously mentioned the subject of payment for use of the room may cloud the issue.

Yes. Think it probably would. Nothing is easy, is it?

Is not the whole complex a place of work for the roving warden? If so it falls into section 53 of the Fire (Scotland) Act although the FRA would not have to be recorded.

Additionally, if there are 'rules' for the complex, overseen by the roving warden would they not be a 'person in control to any extent' as defined in section 54 of the Act?
The way I look at this scenario is that by definition in the Act  the common areas are not relevant premises so they fail the first test and thus I am saying it doesn't matter if I have a relevant person (my roving warden) occassionally at work in the complex with knowhere on site to call an office, I am thinking this does not make this a relevant premises, but if the roving warden had an on site office I am saying now that both relevant tests would be passed, making this a relevant premises. I may be all wrong with my thoughts, but thanks so far for all who have responded appreciated.
