Good flashlights, and spare batteries just in case, are essential if you are going in to see REO properties.

most likely but I would hope the max they can take would be the property itself and none of my personal assets.If I am the lawyer for your injured tenant, and I find out that:1. you self manage2. you have a significant net worthI'm going to look at every battery and see how old it is, I'm going to check the dates on the smoke detectors, I'm going to check every bit of wiring, insulation, every little thing I can possibly find to get to you.

Also, there should be BIANNUAL change of batteries in fire alarms, performed by TENANTS.Question 1: Do you have the fire alarm addendum in your lease mandating tenants to check the fire alarm once a month and change the battery twice a year?

I created an addendum for tenants for them to be familiar how often they are responsible to check the devise as well as test it and change batteries.

It should go to the battery backup when that happens, not set off the alarm.

For our needs it will work good, though it doesn't have as long of a battery use as the Asus, but when the Surface Pro comes out Michael's getting that because of the resolution, he needs for graphics, etc.

Besides smoke alarms, some places now require interlocking smoke detectors that are both battery and hardwired.

Do the smoke detectors with your fire system have battery backup?

@Bill B.Unless you are a talented landlord farm it out your time is better spent getting the next deal.To find a good property manager <50 units go to Irem.org search for ARM certified they passed a battery of tests to become certified.
