Did you know that effective January 1, 2011, there was a new law passed requiring most homes to have carbon Monoxide detectors installed by July 1, 2011? Well there was, and it effects not just landlords, but HOME OWNERS too!

It is called the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2010: SB 183. It requires a carbon monoxide detector device to be installed in any existing dwelling "intended for human occupancy" that has a fossil fuel burning heater or appliance, fireplace, or attached garage. These devices must be installed in existing single-family dwelling units on or before July 1, 2011, and in all other dwellings on or before January 1, 2013.

For general information regarding carbon monoxide, go to www.epa.gov/iaq/co.html
