carbon monoxide detectors required image
Allie
I have tried looking, but can't find the answer online. Is it illegal for my apartment complex not to have a carbon monoxide detector in my unit if I have a gas stove? I live in Virginia. Also does anybody know how long an apartment has to fix items that are wrong with the place from when I first moved in? I've lived here for 4 months and we still have a terrible bug problem. And our front door leaks and floods our kitchen any time it rains. Thanks for any advice.

here in california, it is supposedly required by new law that all rentals (including apartments) have the carbon detectors....BUT i am still waiting for my landlord to put one in =D.
contact your state's housing agency (not sure of the name but i'm pretty sure all states in the USA must have this agency). find out what your rights are as a renter. also, if you have mentioned verbally to your landlord about the issues and nothing has been fixed yet. i would submit it again in writing though (as proof). and contact your agency as well.
good luck!

What do I need to be aware of when using a propane space heater?

I'm moving into a rental house that has a big rectangular metal space heater. It has to be plugged in but it's fueled by propane. That kinda baffles me, but whatever, I've always had CH/AC. My question is what do I need to know about this thing? All I know so far is that I'll need a carbon monoxide detector which the re-modelers are already installing.
Answer
A lot of space heaters do not require electricity to operate, but they have blower fans as an option to help circulate the heat.
Check the rating plate on the heater. It should state the minimum clearances to be maintained from combustibles etc.
These type of heaters work quite well for heating an open area. You wont get a lot of benefit from it in rooms off of the main room, but they work pretty well...They are PERFECTLY SAFE if they are maintained and serviced properly. If they weren't they wouldn't be allowed in homes.
