As a Property Manager or Landlord, you have a responsibility to ensure a rental property meets all health and safety requirements. Ensuring your client’s rental properties are equipped with compliant smoke alarms that are regularly maintained will give you and your client both peace of mind.
The most common issue is the incorrect type of smoke alarm is being installed. 41% of the alarms they have come across are using either the incorrect Australian standard alarm or an alarm that isn’t photoelectric.
Remember that from the 1st of January 2022, all rental properties and properties being sold in Queensland must comply with the new smoke alarm legislation
This requires every residence in Queensland to be fitted with photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms in all bedrooms as well as other key areas in the property.
Legislation also states alarms must be certain distances away from objects that may interfere with the alarms.
For Landlords and Property Managers, the best way to ensure compliance is to use a qualified electrician with smoke alarm compliance.
