If Tenant is not cooperative to install CO Detector, what should I do?

I bought a Carbon Monoxide Detector trying to install in a rental property of mine, but the tenant has been so uncooperative that he either won't answer the door or found excuses to not allow me getting in. By law, the detector should have been in place prior to July, but I am still wrestling with my tenant on this. I don't want to terminate the lease merely because of this and loose the rent; just want to see if there are some ideas I can follow to protect myself from violation of law.

You only have 1 like this? You lucky dog.

I am just documenting when I tried to install and leaving it alone.

Are carbon monoxide detectors required in all States? It's just been mandatory in state of Florida?

Apparently it's mandatory since July 2007. But I wonder if anyone is really complying. How is it in other states, such as the ones up North where boilers are used? Regarding this law_even though there's seldom any boilers here_it is required because those are the ones more prompt to let lethal carbon monoxide out in case of accident!

Answer
I can tell you that in Alabama they are no.
