Fire and/or Smoke Alarms can save lives but can also be a costly nuissance if they’re triggered for every burnt toast or overcooked roast. If your fire system is remotely monitored, the chances of false alarms leading to fines and penaltie is greatly increased. But even alarms at the local premises can be disruptive and irritating to other tenants and/or neighbours.
Occasionally you may run into a situation with a tenant who happens to cook certain foods regularly that trigger the alarm. Besides the obvious annoyance factor, this irritant can quickly turn dangerous if your tenant opts to just pluck out and remove the fire or smoke alarm to solve the problem. Fire and smoke alarms are not meant to tampered with or removed under any circumstances. Many jurisdictions legislate this into local laws and codes. A nuissance alarm is a behaviour issue that can be properly addressed with this notice form. And you’ll be able to take the opportunity to reinforce safety practices as well.

- Halt complaints and issues between other tenants and/or neighbours of offending tenant
- Reinforce safe actions and non-tampering of fire/smoke equipment to ensure continued personal safety.
- Demonstrate that the action of repeated smoke/fire alarm false alarms is dangerous and not tolerable.
