Verify smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and give tenants testing instructions. Before each new tenancy, Oregon landlords must have working smoke alarms with working batteries, and a working carbon monoxide alarm where the unit has a fuel-burning heater, fireplace, appliance, or stove or an attached garage opening into the living space, or connects by a door, duct, or vent to a room in the building that has one, and must give the tenant written testing instructions at move-in, because these are habitability duties and a missing smoke alarm can bring a fire official's citation and a State Fire Marshal civil penalty of up to $250.
