今天中介来信推荐the service of Smoke Alarms Australia, 每年99刀检查一下投资房。房子里现在楼下楼上各有一个alarm，我觉得没有必要，而且看邮件上也没有说是必须的，可以不接受。房子是townhouse，有保险，应该cover fire险的。这种情况，请问大家还会要服务吗？如果要服务，肯定还有再装他们卖的alarm，而且估计有情况他们也会找理由推卸责任。

不是必须，可以不做。

smoke alarm 不是保护房子的，是保护住在里边的人。
如果smoke alarm没有检查，保险会拒绝一些理赔。
QLD法律要求，每年和换房客的时候需要检查。 但是没有要求什么样的人去检查。

Who is responsible in a rental property to clean and test the smoke alarms?
Within 30 days before the start of a tenancy in a domestic dwelling, the lessor/landlord must test and clean each smoke alarm in the dwelling. During a tenancy in a domestic dwelling, the tenant must test and clean each smoke alarm in the dwelling, at least once every 12 months.
A renewal or extension of an existing tenancy agreement is also deemed to be the start of a new tenancy agreement.
For example if the tenant stayed for 6 months and another tenant moved in the lessor would need to test and clean the smoke alarms within 30 days prior to the new lease starting. Even if the tenant only stayed for 2 months the lessor would still need to test and clean prior to the new lease taking affect.
Test has a definition in the legislation and it is by pressing the 'test' button or as stated in the manufacturer's instructions.
Clean also has a definition in the legislation and that is "in the way stated in the manufacturer's instructions", which is normally vacuuming.
How do I maintain (test and clean) a smoke alarm?
Test the smoke alarm by pressing the 'test' button or as stated in the manufacturer's instructions.
Clean "in the way stated in the manufacturer's instructions" which is normally vacuuming.
Do you need to be qualified or licenced to test and clean smoke alarms?
There is no legal requirement for any qualification or certification to test or clean a domestic smoke alarm.
Some real estate agents may outsource smoke alarm maintenance to another company with associated fees paid by the landlord. The real estate may request a "certificate of compliance" from these companies as proof of service. This is not a legal requirement but may be part of the real estate agent's internal process.

谢谢，请问是哪个州的规定？还是适用全澳洲？我出租房子前都更换了新电池，房客续租。

物业应该不管室内，我在里面住了十年，物业从来没管过。

vic说是今年开始新规定，必须每年检查，要证书的
而你townhouse，如果上下都装，很可能之前就是根据规定装的吧。
不然出事的话，就是房东的责任。
以前没有这么严，可以中介或房东自己检查换电池

感谢分享，我到政府网上查了：
“Landlords are responsible for the installation of smoke alarms in rented premises.
Landlords have the right of access to rented premises to fit smoke alarms after giving the tenant at least two days’ notice.
After the tenancy begins, the tenant is responsible for replacing the battery, if needed, in battery-operated smoke alarms. Hard-wired smoke alarm back-up batteries are to be replaced by the landlord.
If the tenant is physically unable to change the battery the tenant is required to notify the landlord as soon as practicable.”
根据这个规定，我目前情况下只需要提供电池，房客要自己检查。
差点被中介忽悠了，我之前以为他们提供的安装公司是政府监督部门，查了一下是个私人公司，名字起得唬人。
顺便把链接贴出来，也可以帮助到有需要的人。多谢上面各位了！

问题是你提供电池，谁来确定smoke alarm好不好用呢？
评论
应该是房客自己测试呀，如果不工作，我要负责给他换alarm

每个州规定不同，我是新州。我的中介没敢告诉我必须用这个服务，“You do have the choice to decline this service however this means you take full responsibility in ensuring your property meets compliance requirements and ongoing smoke alarm maintenance yourself or by enlisting another provider.” 他们一再强调是可以抵税的，可是抵税也是房东付大头呀，估计是他们的关系户。
既然政府网站上说房客有义务自己检查，那我就不花钱这冤枉钱，用钱的地方多，节约点。再说我们住在自己的房子里都是自己检查，房客应该也可以啊。

中介是专业的中介，否则不会让你做的，自找麻烦。以下的各项每年都要做：买房东保险，给中央空调做维护，每年检查烟雾报警器。如果中介没有让你花这钱，绝对不是好中介。可以考虑换中介了。

中介都是一百样都让你做 我也知道这样好，只是要花钱而已
