Holy smokes, I just checked out your website with the neighborhood ratings.

I found out that was all smoke and mirrors.

Lightbulbs, batteries in smoke detectors is on them and written in the lease.You can really do whatever you want if it is written in the lease contract but bear in mind they don't own the home and won't care on certain things.

We had our 3-year township CO inspection today and were told that we need to have smoke / CO detectors that alerted both sixes of a duplex property. 

I have to close, apply for a conditional use verification, get inspection ( requiring wired smoke detectors, other safety features) and get a business license.

Make sure you have smoke and CO detectors in appropriate places, GFCI outlets near water, functioning mechanicals, make sure everything is in good condition and you shouldn't have a problem.

As the saying goes, when there's smoke, there is fire.I trust that you won't take these remarks as condescending since we've already been in contact with each other.

My other issue I think of when it comes to that is I'm in the process of switching everyone over to non smoking. 

Are you installing new smoke alarms?
