✅ Smoke alarms must be photoelectric
✅ Alarms must be interconnected
✅ Alarms must be less than 10 years old
✅ Alarms must be located in every bedroom, hallway, and on every level
✅ Power source must be hardwired or have a non-removable 10-year battery
These laws apply to all homes—whether you’re living in the property, renting it out, or getting ready to sell.
