In an apartment, who is responsible for keeping smoke alarms in good working order?
Smoke alarms are so effective that the City of Carrollton requires the owners/managers of apartment communities to provide working smoke alarms when tenants move in. However, it is up to the tenant to ensure the smoke alarms continue to work. Test smoke alarms once a month and replace the battery at least once a year. Make sure smoke alarms are clean at all times.
