Test every smoke alarm and any CO alarms, and replace ones that fail. Alabama landlords must meet the building and housing codes that apply to the home and keep the electrical and other facilities they supply in safe working order, and the Alabama Fire College tells landlords to keep smoke alarms installed and working, so a yearly test that replaces any alarm that fails or is more than 10 years old protects occupants and documents that care.
