Homeowners and smoke alarm requirements
As a homeowner, it’s important you are fully aware of the smoke alarm requirements for your premises.
The friendly team at Smoke Detector Inspections can assist with regular checks and services for your home and/or rental properties to ensure the highest level of safety for you and your tenants.
Your tenants’ responsibilities you need to know:
Inform
Inform you or the agent of any problems with the smoke alarms and notify when batteries are changed
No Interference
No interference with smoke alarms without a valid reason
Repair or Replace
Your tenant may repair or replace a smoke alarm if you have failed to do so within an appropriate amount of time
False Alarms
if a smoke alarm is activated by false alarms such as cooking smoke, your tenant needs to advise you immediately so you can arrange to either have it moved to a more suitable area or change to a different style of alarm
Reimburse
You will need to reimburse your tenants for all expenses involved in smoke alarms upon presentation of their receipts.
