    You don’t need anyone to come inspect anything. It’s literally a small plastic device you can buy online or at a store, put a battery in, and forget it exists until it tells you it needs a new battery or it saves your life.

    When it’s required and the landlord’s responsibility, they’re liable if a fire happens and the detectors don’t do their job. So they’re gonna send someone out periodically to make sure it’s still functioning properly. There’s nobody there to check yours if you just buy your own.

    Seriously, if that’s your only hold up, please get some smoke detectors in your house. Having smoke detectors isn’t something that you “miss”, it’s something that you hope you never have to have needed but the one time you do need it, it can save your life, your loved one’s lives, everything you own.

      Your absolutly right. But I probably won’t do that. It just so unimportant overall, I won’t think of it in a few days. And it’s not like I’m going to start a fire. That just happens to other people. Not me.
