wake up to photoelectric smoke alarms

2
You are required to install and maintain smoke alarms in your rental property. • The minimum legal requirement is an alarm in accordance with the smoke alarm Australian Standard. This can be met by a 9-volt battery operated smoke alarm, with a one-year battery for dwellings built before 1997. However, a good quality 10-year battery alarm or hard-wired alarm is more reliable and may be more effective in the long term. Homes built after 1997 must have hard-wired alarms fitted. • You must test and clean each smoke alarm within 30 days before the start of a tenancy agreement. • In addition you must replace, in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, each battery in the smoke alarm that is flat or that you or your agent is aware is almost flat within 30 days before the start of a tenancy. • You must replace the smoke alarm unit before it reaches the end of its service life. Service life of a smoke alarm is usually indicated by the warranty offered by its manufacturer. • If your smoke alarm reaches the end of its service life, you must replace it immediately. • Where notified by a tenant that a smoke alarm is not operating, you should have the smoke alarm checked by a competent professional, and as required, repaired or replaced. • If your property is managed by an agent, they may be able to arrange for this to be done to ensure your legislative requirement is met. • You are required by law to test and clean each smoke alarm in the dwelling at least once every 12 months. • You are required by law to replace, in accordance with the information statement (RTA Form 17a) provided to you, each battery that is flat or is almost flat during your tenancy. • If you become aware that a smoke alarm in the rental property is not working, other than because the battery is flat or almost flat, you must advise the landlord or agent as soon as practicable. • Your landlord is only required by law to test and clean smoke alarms at the start of each new tenancy agreement. If the property is managed by an agent, they may arrange for this to be done. Please note that for public housing tenants the State Government has already installed hard-wired smoke alarms in all public housing dwellings. Insurance – Tenants Research indicates that nearly half of all renters do not have insurance of any kind. To protect your personal possessions you should have your own contents insurance. Insurance – Property Owners Industry figures show that people underinsure. Adequate insurance cover can provide peace of mind if your home and belongings are damaged or lost to fire. Most insurance companies offer specific landlord policies. As a property owner your home insurance policy could be affected by whether you have a smoke alarm installed. Check with your specific insurance provider. On the sale of a property, the vendor must lodge a form with the Queensland Land Registry (www.nrw.qld.gov.au) stating that smoke alarms are installed in the property and the purchaser has been informed smoke alarms are installed. Fire Officers will also investigate complaints received. Fines apply for failing to install smoke alarms. kitchen door dining room bathroom bedroom window window window office A smoke alarm will alert you to a fire, but what you do next is a matter of life and death. To survive it is essential you have a fire escape plan. 1. Draw your escape plan on a sheet of paper or visit www.fire.qld.gov.au. 2. Plan two ways out of every room. 3. Pick a meeting place outside the home, such as the letterbox. 4. Ring the fire service on 000 (Triple Zero). 5. Practise your fire escape plan regularly, at night, with the lights off. 6. Practise your escape on hands and knees. WHAT IF I AM A LANDLORD? WHAT IF I AM A TENANT? DO I NEED A FIRE ESCAPE PLAN? HOW ARE SMOKE ALARMS ENFORCED?
