Landlords are required to perform smoke alarm maintenance by testing and cleaning each smoke alarm and replacing any flat or nearly flat batteries within 30 days before the start of a tenancy agreement or within 30 days before the renewal of a tenancy.
Smoke alarms must be replaced 10 years after their manufacturer date. This date can be found on each smoke alarm.
When notified by a tenant that a smoke alarm is not operating, landlords are required to replace that smoke alarm with a photoelectric type that complies with AS3786-2014.
Landlords are not to remove a smoke alarm or a battery (other than to replace it), or do anything to reduce the effectiveness of the alarm e.g. paint it.
