Q & A with Prop West

Resident Manger

Q) As an owner of an apartment building, how do I know if my building requires a resident manager?

A) If the apartment building has under 16 units your building doe not require a resident manager. If your apartment building consists of 16 rental units or more, the owner is required to have a "responsible person" residing on the premises. Usually that person is a manager, but he or she could also be a resident janitor.

Smoke Detectors

Q) How many smoke detectors are required in a two bedroom home or apartment with a utility room.

A) By law smoke detectors are required to be put one in each bedroom and one in the hallway.
