Smoke alarm questions

How often do rental smoke alarms need checking?

At least once every 12 months, tested according to the manufacturer instructions. Batteries must be replaced as required, and the whole unit replaced before its 10-year expiry.

Whose job is it — mine or the renter’s?

In Victoria the rental provider is responsible for ensuring alarms are correctly installed and working, and for the annual check.
