What smoke and carbon monoxide detector duties does a Hawaii landlord have?

Verify smoke alarms are installed and working, and test any CO alarms. Hawaii landlords must keep rentals in line with the state and county fire codes, which require working smoke alarms in dwelling units, so an annual check that each alarm sounds, that one sits outside every sleeping area and on each level, that dead batteries and alarms over ten years old are replaced, and that any carbon monoxide alarms also work keeps tenants safe and the unit compliant.
