As many property managers are aware, from 1 January 2022 all rental properties in Queensland must comply to the new smoke alarm legislation. The legislation adds several new smoke alarm requirements including interconnection of smoke alarms in all bedrooms as well as other important areas of the property.

According to Smoke Alarm Solutions’ research, the uptake of the new legislation has been slow with approximately only 25% of rental properties compliant to the new requirements. With the compliance deadline less than eleven months away, many property managers and landlords may have to face the ramifications of non-compliance come 2022. Landlords may be reluctant to upgrade their properties to 2022 legislation as it can be costly however they may be risking loss of rental income if they don’t start acting now.

To help landlords meet the deadline and encourage early compliance, Smoke Alarm Solutions launched a new smoke alarm product on January 27 of this year – Emerald Alarms. This launch provides landlords with another cost-effective option to consider when upgrading their properties. As the leading provider of smoke alarm services, Smoke Alarm Solutions was able to secure a competitive price point for Emerald Alarms.

Smoke Alarm Solutions have seen an incredible reaction to the launch of Emerald Alarms. Property Managers are excited to offer their landlords a new option when upgrading their properties and Emerald Alarms have been a popular choice.
