Verify smoke detectors and collect tenant written acknowledgment. Indiana requires at least one working smoke detector outside each sleeping area and on every level, including basements, and requires the tenant to acknowledge in writing at move-in that the unit has a functional detector (IC 22-11-18-3.5 and IC 32-31-5-7), so check the alarms and the signed acknowledgment at each turnover and once a year.
