Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?
Writing as a landlord as well as an engineer, I'm happy to have the fire alarms poked. It is actually the tenants responsibility to pay attention to the batteries and weekly testing (!), as they're on site. But usually they just remove the batteries. Now I use the 10 year batteries, but that's only recently been possible. But not an fail, please, as the letting agents will then demand an Installation Report from an electrician, sorry Electrician, that they changed the battery.
