Smoke Alarm Law in North Brisbane

1. Homeowners: Homeowners are obligated by the law to install smoke alarms on every level of their house.

This includes the following:

  • Caravans
  • Camper-vans
  • Rental properties
  • Relocatable houses
  • Occupied owned houses
  • Other residential buildings where people sleep

Smoke alarms should be installed in the hallways, near the sleeping areas. If in case the rooms on one level are located at different sides, a smoke alarm must be installed on each side, near the bedroom. Even if one house level doesn’t have a room, a smoke alarm must still be installed in it.

2. Landlords: For rental places, the landlord is the one obligated to install smoke alarms in their properties. They must handle the placement of new batteries to the battery-operated smoke-alarms before any tenancy starts.

Once a tenant will start to rent the place, battery replacement of the smoke alarms will now be handled by the tenant. In case they won’t be able to do it, they must alert the landlord immediately.

3. Tenants: Once a tenant starts to rent a property, it’ll be their duty to replace the batteries of the battery-operated smoke alarms. They must be able to notify the landlord in case they can’t perform the replacement.

4. Motorhomes & Caravan: Motorhomes and Caravan owners are not exempted to the smoke alarm law. Because these types of homes have light and combustible materials. To add more, the escape route of these homes are very limited. That’s why the law also obligates owners of motorhomes and caravan to install smoke alarms in it.

Along with the development in today’s technology, the usual thick furnishing and finishes of homes have been altered. The use of flammable synthetic materials has been widely spread. In case a fire occurs, these materials can escalate the situation fast.

For these reasons, smoke alarm installation in both commercial and residential properties in Brisbane and North Brisbane is essential. Smoke alarms work as a preventive safety measure of property owners that get them alerted of a starting fire. This way, they can immediately find solutions and help prevent the fire from worsening.
