It might vary by city, even. I know, however, that we as landlords in Somerville are required to have smoke detectors for our 3rd floor tenants. I think we might need to get one for each floor, come to think of it. And in S'ville, we're required to have them hard-wired into a dedicated circuit of electricity that isn't on the tenant electric bill. Whee! :)
Ours can be battery powered, and though landlords have to make sure there's a fresh battery in it at renting, the tenants are responsible for changing the battery regularly enough.
