Check smoke alarms on every story yearly and before each move-in. Kansas's Smoke Detector Act makes the owner supply and install at least one smoke alarm on every story of each dwelling unit (and at the top of each interior stairwell in buildings with more than one unit) and test and maintain them, except that tenants test and maintain the alarms inside their unit after moving in, so confirming every alarm works before each move-in, checking shared stairwell and in-unit alarms yearly, and replacing any that fail keeps units protected.
