Queensland landlords: is your rental property’s smoke alarm setup compliant?
Rental properties have required compliant interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms since 1 January 2022. The 2027 deadline isn’t an extension for landlords.
Before a new or renewed tenancy, remember to:
✅ Test and clean every alarm within the preceding 30 days
✅ Check alarm placement and interconnection
✅ Replace faulty alarms and those reaching 10 years from manufacture
Help protect your tenants and stay informed about your responsibilities.
