7. BATTERIES AND SMOKE<br />
ALARMS<br />
Since 2006, smoke alarms<br />
have been mandatory in all<br />
homes and other shared<br />
accommodation buildings<br />
where people sleep.<br />
Landlords are required to install,<br />
maintain and repair smoke alarms.<br />
What about Batteries in all<br />
other devices?<br />
The tenant also agrees to replace<br />
batteries as needed in all other<br />
devices such as air conditioning<br />
remotes, garage door openers, any<br />
remotes supplied as a function of<br />
operation within the property.<br />
NOTE: Ensure all batteries are working<br />
when you vacate a property to avoid<br />
being charged the cost to replace<br />
them.<br />
The tenant agrees not to remove or<br />
interfere with the operation of a<br />
smoke alarm installed on the<br />
residential premises unless they have<br />
a reasonable excuse to do so. They<br />
also agree that it is the tenant’s<br />
responsibility to replace light globes<br />
<strong>for</strong> all smoke detectors on the<br />
residential premises.<br />
NOTE: Landlords have the right of<br />
access to rented premises to fit or<br />
maintain smoke alarms after giving<br />
the tenant at least 2 days’ notice.<br />
