Common use of Fire Equipment Clause in Contracts

Fire Equipment. Fire equipment that is not in working order jeopardises the safety of all residents and as such management regularly checks all fire equipment including fire extinguishers and hoses, smoke detectors, exit signs and evacuation maps. It is against the law to tamper with fire equipment, including removing or covering exit signs, damaging exit signs, altering the function of door closers, disabling or covering smoke detectors, discharging fire extinguishers for any purpose other than putting out a fire and doing anything that may compromise the proper functioning of fire equipment. Violators will be subject to any fines imposed by a relevant authority or agency, possible criminal penalties and an administration fee. A breach of this Rule in any way by a resident will be considered as serious misconduct and may result in termination of the resident’s Residential Tenancy Agreement.
