-There was a question about the location of Smoke Detectors, which is a part of the Smoke Detector Act that has been repealed, however it is critical to know that for each bedroom there must be at least one smoke detector.

Rules are good, just make them standard ones that other good landlords are doing.An example of what not to do: don't say you're going to do quarterly inspections (only do inspections every 6 months max and just say it's to change smoke detector batteries and check to see if there are any plumbing leaks and you're in and out in 5 minutes). 

We check this during our home safety checks, when we check the smoke detectors etc. 

If gas is at the property you need a proper detector anyway.

Many of these items are trivial to fix such as missing smoke/Carbon monoxide detector, water heater not properly strapped, etc. 

I'm sure the snarks on here will say the best tenant proofing is good screening before you rent  :) I personally like tile floors...I have given up on wood...laminate and carpet...provide extra air filters for the AC unit (unless you use replacing them as a reason to go by and check out the place every few months) fire extinguisher in the kitchen...make sure smoke detectors are installed and working properly ...if it is a single family be sure the tenants know where and how to shut the water off ...

@Kristyn GrimesLol removing smoke detectors from kitchen.

Check the replacement date on the smoke detectors and the carbon monoxide detectors.Good Luck!

New heat sensor smoke detector because the old one went off any time the stove was used.

@Torrance Jones’s smoke detector batteries and air filters!
