Tenant responsibility for smoke detector
<p>Can I replace a broken hardwired smoke detector by myself, or does it need to be done by a certified repairman/electrician to rid myself of liability if something goes wrong?
I live in Nevada.</p>
<p>Bonus: can I replace an old hardwired smoke detector with a battery only one?</p>

<p>All electrical wiring must be by a licensed electrician. If it plugs in, anyone can do it, if you need a screwdriver it has to be an electrician.</p>
<p>All domestic smoke detectors must be hard wired with battery backup and, if there’s more than one in a home they must be interconnected so if one goes off they all go off.</p>
