Landlord Responsibilities
Smoke alarm compliance is complicated and time consuming, especially now every property has multiple interconnecting smoke alarms. As a landlord you are responsible for ensuring the smoke alarms in your rental properties meet QLD legislative requirements, see upgrade information, and that each individual smoke alarm is tested and serviced within 30 days before the start of every new lease / lease renewal.
Don’t pay an electrician call-out fee if you have a problem with your rental property’s smoke alarms. Attending problem alarms is part of our annual subscription service!
