Who is responsible in a rental property to clean and test the smoke alarms?
Within 30 days before the start of a tenancy in a domestic dwelling, the lessor/landlord must test and clean each smoke alarm in the dwelling. During a tenancy in a domestic dwelling, the tenant must test and clean each smoke alarm in the dwelling, at least once every 12 months.
A renewal or extension of an existing tenancy agreement is also deemed to be the start of a new tenancy agreement.
For example if the tenant stayed for 6 months and another tenant moved in the lessor would need to test and clean the smoke alarms within 30 days prior to the new lease starting. Even if the tenant only stayed for 2 months the lessor would still need to test and clean prior to the new lease taking affect.
Test has a definition in the legislation and it is by pressing the 'test' button or as stated in the manufacturer's instructions.
Clean also has a definition in the legislation and that is "in the way stated in the manufacturer's instructions", which is normally vacuuming.
How do I maintain (test and clean) a smoke alarm?
Test the smoke alarm by pressing the 'test' button or as stated in the manufacturer's instructions.
Clean "in the way stated in the manufacturer's instructions" which is normally vacuuming.
Do you need to be qualified or licenced to test and clean smoke alarms?
There is no legal requirement for any qualification or certification to test or clean a domestic smoke alarm.
Some real estate agents may outsource smoke alarm maintenance to another company with associated fees paid by the landlord. The real estate may request a "certificate of compliance" from these companies as proof of service. This is not a legal requirement but may be part of the real estate agent's internal process. |
