Now that this has been said after doing some more  research on this subject in the Nec I found that there is an  article that  pretains to this it is article 210.25(b) "common area branch circuits. branch circuits installed for the purpose of lighting, central alarm, signal, communications, or other purposes for public or common areas of a two family dwelling, a multifamily dwelling,  or multi occupancy buildings shall not be supplied by equipment that supplies and individual dwelling unit or tenant space."

It's funny though, because the exact same story and replace 'homeowner' with 'copper thief' and the police's actions were suddenly lawful.

I had a guy on standby that I went to earlier this week to pull the trigger w/to only be alarmed that he was flake!

(Also required in your lease)Smoke alarms will get poked (& documented) very soon.

When they moved out I found they removed the batteries from all the smoke alarms.

This (from their web site) set off an alarm bell for me (emphasis mine):DAY 1: You’ll be walked through an entire rehab from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, just like the one rotten pet owner who ruins it for the rest, these folks did the same -- - After giving notice they stayed on 4 more weeks, forcing court eviction; - All toilets, sinks and tubs clogged; - Such a mess that it cost $400 to clean; - Theft of several security yard signs and motion sensor alarms; - and worst of all: a ROACH INFESTATION the likes of which I have never seen (one literally could not walk across the kitchen without multiple roaches crawling up your leg!).

So, I put a wireless alarm system into each of my units, so that I get an immediate call, if someone's in there.- People can get very nasty, if you have to evict.

Am I the only one whose "BS" alarm goes haywire when you hear these two things."

I think it is quite possible alarms didn't go off for you, and others, because the perception is there that the blog was written by an expert.
