YES ITS THE LAW!!! EVERY APARTMENT SHOULD HAVE ONE!!!! TALK TO THE LANDLORD OR WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE!!
Depends on the state, but usually it is a requirement it saves the landlord from being sued..
yes
in new york they are
No, smoke alarms are not required. Smoke DETECTORS are though.
They are cheap, I put one in every bedroom and hallway.
Kiddie has a new one out that has a light that comes on, it has become my favorite to buy. I think the light adds to the safety factor.
yea
It all depends on your local government, but here in New York City it definitely is a requirement by law to provide smoke alarms, in fact, there should also be a carbon monoxide detector.
Apx 60% of all cities now require this. Other cities rely on common sense. A landlord should want to protect their house.
ABsolutely. Your local ordinance and state regulations control how many and what kind. We have to have a Carbon Monoxide on every floor and regular one outside/or in every bedroom. When we rehabbed our coachhouse, we had to wire in smoke detectors, no batteries fo tenants to remove.
This is a state law. In Texas the penalty is based on the renter making a written complaint that they do not have the proper working smoke alarms. If the landlord does not respond within a specified time they can be fined. So it is not automatic.
Decades ago we had a rent house we owned that burned and the renters died. I always check the smoke alarms before anyone moves in and strongly suggest that renters check them on regular basis.
It is in pretty much all cities, however… wouldn’t you want to have your investment protected by having one? and Not have it be your fault if people die because you didn’t want to wire one in.
Smoke alarms are just as important as seatbelts are.
yes it is law and let your landlord know. But he should already know this. It is to save lives and the landlord not to get sued.
