Hi,
Should a property manager test the smoke alarm during inspections, or record that they were working and in place during the inspection.
I have rental and I have been there a few times...everytime the bloody tenants have taken the smoke alarm down.
Basically what I am saying is if the tenants have removed it or taken the batteries out of it
shouldn't the PM issue them with a breach or something like that.
I am just worried that if something happens and the smoke alarm isn't working the insurance will not pay or will find reasons not to pay.
I am aware it has to be working before a lease starts but what about during the lease???
Cheers
Camo
