Dear all,
Does anyone have any suggestions for solutions to making smoke alarms
accessible for the deaf in private rented accommodation? We have a
student moving out of halls and going into a house. I know you can
get
mains powered smoke alarms but this will mean getting an electrician
to
fit it and landlords may not be that keen- is there any easier
solution?
Thanks,
