# Why Do You Want to Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors? Is It Optional?

## We're an extremely safety-conscious company. To be clear your lease makes this your responsibility since we don't want to rely solely on any one person, including our staff.

 

We feel redundancy is important with such a high-stakes issue, and we like to test the system out as well.

We understand that due to sleep patterns and pets that can be a major inconvenience and that is fine.
