Land lords and property managers need to be aware of a new California law requiring the installation of Carbon Monoxide smoke detectors in residential rental properties. The following text was taken from the Los Angeles Times:
"The bill requires that alarm devices, which can cost less than $30, to be installed in existing single-family homes that have a fossil-fuel burning appliance, fireplace or attached garage, starting in mid-2011. All other residential units will have to have the detectors in place by Jan. 1, 2013."
The legal review course I recently took advised land lords and managers to install the detectors according to individual packaging recommendations. Each CO detector will specify how and where it ought to be installed.
Sincerely,
James Safonov
