FAQs

We want to help you by giving frequently asked questions

New Zealand regulations require rental properties to have working smoke alarms that provide early warning in the event of a fire. Alarms must be correctly located within the property, regularly tested, and maintained so they remain in working order at all times. 

Additional requirements apply to new builds and significant renovations consented under the Building Code. These properties must comply with higher smoke alarm standards, including interconnected alarms. 

Smoke alarms must be installed within three metres of each bedroom door or in the hallway that leads to the bedrooms. If a property has multiple levels, at least one working smoke alarm must be installed on every level. Where a rental property contains bedrooms on different floors, alarms must be positioned so that occupants can hear them clearly if a fire occurs. For new builds and renovations requiring building consent from November 2024, alarms must be interconnected so that activation of one alarm triggers all alarms in the dwelling. 

Landlords are responsible for ensuring that compliant smoke alarms are installed at the start of every tenancy and that they remain operational. Where the property is newly built or has undergone consented building work, landlords must ensure the system complies with NZ Building Code requirements, including interconnected smoke alarms installed to NZS 4514:2021. Landlords are responsible for replacing expired or faulty alarms, and ensuring alarms meet current installation and performance requirements. 

Tenants also play an important role in maintaining smoke alarm safety during the tenancy. They are responsible for replacing batteries in alarms where applicable and notifying the landlord or property manager if an alarm stops working. 

Regular testing, proper placement, and ongoing maintenance all contribute to ensuring smoke alarms provide effective early warning and help protect the safety of people living in the property. 

Yes each visit includes a digital compliance certificate with photographic proof of testing and service.
