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?
Answer: When you are burning indoors any type of liquid or solid fuel for heating, cooking or other use, you should have an active carbon monoxide detector installed in your home. If you have fuel-burning appliances on more than one level of your home, you should have a carbon monoxide detector on each floor.For example, if you have a gas range on the main floor and a wood-burning fireplace on the lower level, you should have detectors on each of these floors.nswer: When you are burning indoors any type of liquid or solid fuel for heating, cooking or other use, you should have an active carbon monoxide detector installed in your home.
