Carbon monoxide detector soon to be required in rental units. A California law that requires the installation of carbon monoxide detectors is being gradually phased in. Question: I recently bought a duplex. I need to complete repairs to the property in order to list the two units for rental. A friend recently told me that I have to install a carbon monoxide detector as well as a smoke detector if I rent out one of the units. Are these devices necessary?
Carbon Monoxide detector connected to a North American power outlet. A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.O detectors can be placed near the ceiling or near the floor because CO is very close to the same density as air. Since CO is colorless, tasteless and odorless (unlike smoke from a fire), detection in a home environment is impossible without such a warning device.
