are your landlords installing carbon monoxide detectors? and if so are tehy chargin you??? my landlord taped a note up in our building saying to give an extra $25 for this. But if its a new law requiring THEM to install it do i really need to pay??? they havent even told us when they are going to install them.
It doesn't sound fair, but if it was me I would just pay the $25 rather than risk dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. If it is a law they should be responsible for it... but I'm not sure of the laws.
i'm in brooklyn over here. the management company installed new carbon monoxide alarms about a month ago at no charge to the rentees or owners (it's a building/condo so most are owners, some rentees)! your landlord should've taken care of the cost!!
yes it is required by law now to have them in buiildings and my housing installed it and i was charged 25 dollars.... :(
ok good to know my lanlord isnt the only that takes advantage! lol im not cheap, im just more about the principle
They installed ours about a month and a half ago and charged us $25 as well...I told DH that if we're paying for it, we should get to take it when we leave!
lol. u should!
We bought one for 20 bucks at home depot. It is a smoke detector, too.
our building installed them- but no charge- that is ridic.
OH MY GOD...they did the exact same thing to us. No notice..nothing!!! They have not even knocked on our door to tell us when or if they would be installed but yet we are already being billed. We did not pay it either!!!
Owning the hardware store I have noticed and heard from several supers that THEY are required by law. NOT you. YOU should not have to pay and if they make you, you can report them but it is law and it is required. So if you want to pay 25.00 then go ahead but I wouldnt. Also the average cost of the NYC approved one is between 20 - 25.00.
yes we got a note as well and yes we are supposed to pay for it (I think, we got the note like a month ago)
We installed on ourselves in our co-op. We got a plug in one and put it next to the floor. FH said that it is better closer to the floor because carbon monoxide doesn't rise like smoke does. If you wait for the detectors on the ceiling to detect them there could be a significant amount in air already.
I think by law they can charge you a small amount.
our landlord hasn't said anything about it but DH is going to ask. Dh said he'll do it himself and take it out of the rent, since our landlord is a scumbag. He doesn't do a damn thing for us. Our bedroom ceiling has been leaking since we moved in (not dripping, but ruining the paint and wall). And he's a cop too, you'd think he'd know better.
our building charged us $25 as well. here's the really annoying thing though, we already had one. but they made us put theirs in w/o telling us they were charging. then they informed us a few weeks later via a note in the hall that it would be $25. argh.... i don't know if my hubby ended up paying or not.

you can also get them free at certain police stations. At least you could have when the law came out I do not know if they still have any
