Check smoke and CO alarms in every rental unit. Vermont's fire code requires every rental dwelling to have working smoke alarms (photoelectric or UL 217 labeled) near and inside sleeping rooms and on every level, plus carbon monoxide alarms outside each sleeping area and on every occupied level, so an annual check that each alarm works and no smoke alarm is more than 10 years old keeps units compliant and occupants safe.
