#CarbonMonoxide (CO) is invisible—you can’t see or smell it.
Starting January 1, Ontario requires CO alarms on every floor of homes at risk of CO exposure.
Ignoring the rule risks charges, fines, and lives.
No CO and smoke alarms = no protection.
If you’re unsure of what you need, we’ve made it simple. Everything’s at Ontario.ca/COSafety.

Q: I’m a renter. Do the new 2026 carbon monoxide (CO) alarm rules apply to me?
A: Yes.
Landlords must install CO alarms that meet the new 2026 requirements, maintain and test them yearly, and give tenants the alarm’s maintenance instructions.
Tenants also have responsibilities:
• report any issues
• never disable or remove the alarm (it’s against the law)
CO alarms save lives—and in rentals, fire safety is a shared job.
