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.
Answer
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!

Do I need a carbon dioxide(yes "di"oxide) detector in my home per California regulations?
Q. Yes I mean "Di"oxide. I have a monoxide detector in my home already but the inspector came through for a final inspection and said we needed to install a dioxide as well, this seems quite pointless to me. Does anyone know anymore information about this?
Answer
I think you may be confused. Your state law requires the carbon monoxide detector. Carbon dioxide detectors are usually handheld devices used in industries such as HVAC to test the quality of air coming out of air conditioners. Appliance repair techs also use them for detecting gas leaks.
Read the following. What he may have meant is that you need to replace yours with an approved one.
