Hi there,
Just wondering if anyone knows the legalities surrounding fire alarms in rental units. I understand that as landlords we are responsible to ensure they are in working order. What does that mean exactly? Quarterly checks? Monthly? Biannual? Unfortunately, I did not put "monthly inspections" into my tenants` leases and now I`m wondering how to get around that if I am supposed to check the fire alarms monthly.
Thanks all!
