Safety 1st
Free Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Detector Checkups for Members
At the DC Landlord Association, keeping tenants safe is always the top priority — and that starts with the basics: working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
This September, we’re launching the “Safety 1st” initiative, where members of the DC Landlord Association Safety Team will visit your rental properties to inspect your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors at no cost to you.
🛡️ Why It Matters
Early detection saves lives — a functioning detector can mean the difference between a minor scare and a major tragedy.
It’s required by law in Washington, DC for landlords to maintain working detectors.
It builds trust with the community and shows your commitment to providing safe housing.
🔧 What We’ll Do
Check for working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Note any devices that are missing or need replacement
Answer questions about compliance and upgrades
💸 No Cost to Members
This service is 100% FREE to members as part of our commitment to supporting responsible and proactive property management.
