Oregon Carbon Monoxide Monitor Law Starts

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

Any rental properties that are sold or rented starting July 1st must have a carbon monoxide detector equipped.

The Centers for Disease Control says about 450 people die each year, and 20,000 are sent to the emergency room because of carbon monoxide.

By April, all other rental properties must have the monitors installed.  The law is being implemented in two parts to help ease the financial burden of property owners with multiple rentals.
