Victorian Residential Tenancy Act 1997
New guidelines have been implemented in the Victorian Residential Tenancy Act 1997 to enforce smoke alarm safety standards for all property owners and managers in Victoria. Owners must schedule regular smoke alarm safety checks conducted by licensed professionals to fulfill their obligation of care towards their tenants.
These thorough inspections consist of a safety assessment and include the maintenance, repair, and replacement of the smoke alarms if needed.
To guarantee that your smoke alarms comply with the safety standards, reach out to the RCSC team now for comprehensive smoke detector inspections available throughout Melbourne.
