The Illinois Rental Property Owners Association is opposed to this unnecessary legislation.Here are the reasons why: The type of battery in a smoke detector does not make the detector work betterPeople remove batteries when the detector goes off while cooking.

They use 9 volt batteries with a battery life of 3 years, so I change the batteries every 1-2 years. 

I get the sealed battery 10 year life detector. 

We were recently mandated to install complete fire sprinkler systems & I have been actively doing it along with the required hardwired/battery backup EXIT signs. 

Yes, the tenant should be responsible for snow removal, landscape maintenance, replacing light bulbs & replacing batteries in smoke detectors per the lease agreement on a single family property.Paint, flooring, plumbing and kitchen appliances are probably the most unpredictable on the list.

You could possibly get motion activated battery powered cameras (game cameras) to monitor property.

Consumables are things like light bulbs and batteries.

Screen carefully and that can be a stable business.On fire I now exclusively use the sealed ten year lithium battery models in all of my units.

I would not feel comfortable with tenants being responsible for anything more than basic maintenance (ie. filter change, replace thermostat batteries).

Account Closed, sorry I didn't hear that, the batteries went dead dead in my hearing aids.
