Fire safety inspections (Ontario Fire Code)

Run and record the annual fire-safety check every Ontario landlord must do — smoke alarms, CO alarms, exits and extinguishers — with photos and a PDF report.

Why it matters

Ontario's Fire Code (O. Reg. 213/07) makes landlords responsible for working smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms and safe exits. A dated, photo-backed inspection record is your proof you met that duty — and your protection if there's ever a fire or a complaint.

Run an inspection

  1. Go to Property Operations → Fire Safety and start an inspection for a property.
  2. Work through the 7-section checklist — smoke alarms, CO alarms, exits/egress, extinguishers, electrical/heating, the unit, and tenant sign-off.
  3. Add a photo for each item as you go. Save to generate a PDF report kept on file.

Stay on schedule

Set a reminder so you repeat the inspection every year (and after any alarm change). LandlordEzy can email or text you when the next one is due, so compliance never slips.

Want this handled for you?
