I am a LL and have a residential tenant in my house.
The tenants recently changed and the PM suggested that the fire alarm should be tested and new battery put in by the electrician when he was due to go there- to fix a sensor light and other things. The electrician forgot to do it as Ive just received his bill and no mention of it.
My question is.... is the PM responsible for this i.e. to change the battery on the fire alarm every year. Is the onus on the agent?
Knowing how much litigation there is in oz now should I request the PM to call the electrician to head back out to resolve?
Or should I do nothing as the thing is probably working and I have adequate building insurance and public liability ins
thanks
