Whose responsibility is it to maintain smoke and carbon monoxide alarms?

sailor(Ocean & Mountain)

The RTA does not address smoke and carbon monoxide alarms directly. It says that it is the landlord's responsibility to make sure that the property is kept in a good state of repair, is fit to live in and meets all the health and safety standards that apply.

Both the landlord and tenant have responsibilities when it comes to fire prevention. The landlord must make sure that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are installed and are working properly. Tenants must notify the landlord as soon as they become aware that a carbon monoxide or smoke alarm in their unit is not working and they must not remove the batteries or tamper with the alarms in any way.

More information on fire safety can be found on the website of the Office of the Fire Marshal.

枫下家园 / 房东 / 经济说出租屋房东需要提供烟雾报警器和CO报警器，而且是在有效期内的，我看了一下，现在房子里的烟雾报警器都是95年的，需要换吗？另外CO报警器需要买几个？新手房东，问题有点儿多，谢谢 -ziseyudi(金龟子); 2021-6-6 (#13767692@0)

肯定是房东， -googlebot(bot); 2021-6-7 (#13768060@0)

烟雾报警器只有10年寿命，早就该换了。 -coolrock(coolrock); 2021-6-7 (#13767959@0) +1

估计楼主刚买的房？又是小几百。 -troyd(Troy); 2021-6-7 (#13767961@0)

是刚刚买的房 -ziseyudi(金龟子); 2021-6-7 (#13767964@0)
烟雾报警器不贵，用电池的一个不到20刀，CO报警器贵点，但是每层只要一个。 -coolrock(coolrock); 2021-6-7 (#13767976@0)

亚马逊买几个，一两天就到货了。 -txn(秦川); 2021-6-7 (#13768041@0)
报警器都只有10年期限，到期要换 -googlebot(bot); 2021-6-7 (#13768059@0)
今早开车路上，看到一家邻居家开着门，烟雾报警器吱吱吱地叫着，估计做饭糊锅了？ -897102(肉俩不良帅); 2021-6-7 (#13768066@0)
烟雾报警器要求每个楼层都要有，需要更换， CO报警器一般只需要一个再2楼卧室外走廊。。各个城市要求不一样。查一下你的city要求 -gustytiger(虎啸风生); 2021-6-7 {110} (#13768313@0)

3年前我房客要求每楼层要一个CO，我直接Email给他city要求，他立刻闭嘴。。
不过你的的是95年的，太老了，换吧

The latest Ontario building code is one smoke alarm in each bedroom; in addition, one smoke alarm + CO alarm (or a combination alarm) in each floor common area. This code is in place for at least 5 years already. -jeffrey815(Smartiecat); 2021-6-7 (#13768396@0)

这个building code是给新建房屋的。老房子不受限制。 -gustytiger(虎啸风生); 2021-6-7 {347} (#13768503@0)
你可以查查 vaughan 的 by-law
"In Ontario, you must have a working CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area of the home if you have a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage. It's the law," said Sylvia Jones, Solicitor General. "Make sure your family is protected. CO alarms save lives, but only if they're in good working order."

That is right. That is the code for new building -jeffrey815(Smartiecat); 2021-6-7 (#13768639@0)

必须要换，否则一旦出事房东担责任。Costco就有，这东西不贵。 -dongji(冬季阳光); 2021-6-7 (#13768573@0) +1
记得厨房一定放一个烟雾报警器，爆炒、煎炸都会响起来 😂 你懂的 -info(小雨); 2021-6-7 (#13768594@0)

当年住公寓的时候，公寓的烟雾报警器是直接连到消防局的，多次碰到炒菜的时候警报响起来，然后全副武装的消防员来敲门。 -coolrock(coolrock); 2021-6-7 (#13768648@0)

After that the fire department will send the apartment a bill for the dispatchment. -sailor(Ocean & Mountain); 2021-6-7 (#13768657@0)
唉，这个当年还真遇到过，几个全副武装的大汉拎着斧子进来，还好我手里没拿着菜刀。。。 -gosouth(Summer is short); 2021-6-7 (#13768995@0)

你这主意太坑人了，。。。LOL 。千万别再厨房安装烟雾报警器!!! -gustytiger(虎啸风生); 2021-6-7 (#13768699@0)

家里厨房靠门口的地方还是可以安装一个的，有时忘了关火东西烧焦了警报就会响起来，很管用的。 -info(小雨); 2021-6-7 (#13769020@0)

烟雾报警器要买battery backup的吗？电池一般可以用几年啊？房客不会管换电池吧？ -ziseyudi(金龟子); 2021-6-7 (#13768921@0)

电池每年都要换吧，租客不管你就自己去换，顺便可以看看房子的情况。我的租约了写了交房子的时候一切完好，往后租客自己负责换电池。 -info(小雨); 2021-6-7 (#13769005@0)
既然提到了“Backup”，就说明电池不是主要的能源。可靠的是120v hardwired，而且整栋房子所有的报警器都要联通，有一个报警器触发，所有的报警器都响。 -2841999(四友); 2021-6-7 (#13769982@0)
