BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE LAW REGARDING

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)

1.   CO Detectors are required if:
   1. The home has a fossil fuel burning heating system or appliance  AND/OR,
   2. Has an attached garage.

2.   If a. or b. apply, then the CO detector must be within 10 feet of each room used for sleeping.

3.  If you handle any subsidized housing, you should check to see if they have their own special requirements

4.  CO detectors are extremely inexpensive, and we recommend that the homes you rent are equipped with them regardless of the heating type or if a garage is attached.  Tenants have died due to the improper use of generators and leaving a vehicle running too close to the home.

5. The text of the law is in FS 553.885
