The Residential Tenancies Act
Changes to The Residential Tenancies Act, mean that Landlords are responsible for ensuring that
there are working smoke alarms installed in all residential rental properties covered by the RTA.
Landlords who fail to comply with the new regulations will face the risk of receiving a financial
penalty of up to $4,000 per property.
By 1 July, all residential rental properties that are covered by The Residential Tenancies Act must
meet the following new regulatory requirements pertaining to smoke alarms:
There must be a minimum of one working smoke alarm within 3 metres of each bedroom door and
on every level in multi-storey units.
In a self-contained caravan, sleep out or similar there must be a minimum of one working smoke
alarm.
The landlord is responsible for making sure smoke alarms are operational and have been correctly
installed, as per the new regulatory requirements and manufacturers instructions, at the beginning
of every new tenancy.
The tenant is responsible for the replacement of any batteries and to ensure that the landlord is
notified of any defective smoke alarms.
Long life (10 year) photoelectric smoke alarms are now required where there are no existing alarms.
When existing smoke alarms are replaced, the replacements must be long life photoelectric smoke
alarms.
All smoke alarms must be replaced by their expiry date as per the manufacturers recommended
replacement date that is stated on the alarm.
When smoke alarms are installed or replaced, you should ensure the alarms you purchase comply
with the manufacturing standard AS3786:1993.
The Building Code - Clause F7, Emergency Warning System
In accordance with the Building Code, clause F7 Emergency Warning Systems, any newly built
houses or those that have undergone alterations are required to have smoke alarms installed as
follows;
In multi-storey buildings, there needs to be at least one smoke alarm on each level.
On levels containing sleeping spaces, smoke alarms are to be located either in every sleeping space
or within 3m of the sleeping space door.
New regulations require all residential rental properties, covered by the
RTA, to be compliant by 1 July 2016.

Annual Smoke Alarm Service
We will inspect your property and ensure that
the smoke alarms are operational and compliant
to the current legislation. Included in the Annual
Smoke Alarm Service is one bonus second
inspection, valued at $49, which can be redeemed
at any time throughout the 12-month period.
Any smoke alarms that are damaged, missing,
expired, faulty or are required in order to deem
the property compliant, will be supplied and

Although smoke alarms have a life span of ten years,
many do not last this length of time. Smoke Alarm
Professionals have seen many instances where
smoke alarms have been damaged, gone missing or
become faulty and therefore require replacing well
within ten years.
Under our $129 Annual Smoke Alarm Service, we have
taken this into consideration and therefore, we will
supply and install all smoke alarms that are required
for compliance at no cost to you or your landlords.
Our smoke alarms are 10 year photoelectric alarms
that comply with the manufacturing standard AS
3786:1993.
