You’re in your 20s and you’ve worked hard to buy your first rental unit in Dallas. Did you know that you can easily lose that rental – and all of your other wealth - in minutes due to fire?
A recent study by ORC International found that most Americans are aware of the shelf life of their favorite snack foods but don’t remember the last time they changed the batteries in their smoke alarms.
Fires Are Burning Faster
Thanks to the increase in petroleum-based materials used in the construction of homes, furniture, and other goods, more fires are now reaching “flashover” faster than ever before.
As of 2014, an average home in the United States becomes engulfed in a fire about eight times faster than homes did just 50 years ago.
What does this mean for you?
Depending on how you have written your lease, if you don’t replace the batteries in your smoke alarms, your tenants may not be able to get out of your rental unit in time. You risk the loss of your rental property and the liability of a fire-related death in your property.
