FAQ
Fourteen states require the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in hotels and motels under the statute. Three of those states (New Jersey, Vermont and Wisconsin) have complementary administrative regulations. Two states (Kansas and Washington) have requirements through administrative regulations alone.
Fire extinguishers are only obligatory in large HMOs but it is a good idea to go beyond the minimum requirements where possible, so you may wish to provide one regardless of your property type. In HMOs, one fire extinguisher should be provided per floor and one fire blanket should be provided for each kitchen.
For many years NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, has required as a minimum that smoke alarms be installed inside every sleep room (even for existing homes) in addition to requiring them outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. (Additional smoke alarms are required for larger homes.)
What action do landlords need to take? From 1 October 2015, every private rented property needs to be fitted with smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms (if applicable).
So you may not have to pay much, if any additional rent, if you break your lease. You need pay only the amount of rent the landlord loses because you moved out early. This is because Kansas requires landlords to take reasonable steps to keep their losses to a minimumor to "mitigate damages" in legal terms.
At a minimum the Office of the State Fire Marshal requires that every single-family residence must have at least one smoke detector on every story of the residence, including the basement. This is mandated through Kansas Statute 31-160 and is referenced as the Smoke Detector Act.
You should make sure you have at least one smoke alarm on every level of your home, preferably in hallways and landings. And placing smoke detectors near to sleeping areas and in rooms where there are electrical appliances could give you the extra warning you need.
Landlords are required by law to have at least one smoke alarm installed on every floor of their properties and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room containing a solid fuel burning appliance (eg a coal fire, wood burning stove). You must also make sure the alarms are in working order at the start of each new tenancy.
From 1 October 2015, every private rented property needs to be fitted with smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms (if applicable). The requirement is to install at least one smoke alarm on every storey of the rental property on which there is a room used wholly or partly as living accommodation.
Structures housing three or more residential rental units must be in compliance with the Kansas Fire Prevention Code. That code requires smoke alarms, does not require fire extinguishers, and generally requires two safe exits from any building.
