Smoke Alarms — common questions
Do rental properties need hard-wired smoke alarms in Victoria?
Victorian rental laws require working smoke alarms correctly installed and tested. We can assess your property and bring it up to compliance.
How often should smoke alarms be replaced?
Most smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years, and batteries checked regularly. We can check the age and condition of yours and replace any that are due.
Can smoke alarms be interconnected?
Yes. Depending on the property and existing system, alarms can be interconnected so activation of one alarm triggers the others. We can assess suitable wired or compatible wireless options.
What should I do if a smoke alarm in a rental is not working?
Notify the rental provider or property manager promptly. In Victoria, a non-working smoke alarm is treated as an urgent repair and should not be disabled or removed.
