We have smoke detectors mounted on the underside of our lot's ceiling. These are connected to the building's fire alarm panel in the common area. Are the smoke detectors lot property or common property?

A well-managed strata company will typically have a bylaw in place to ensure proper governance and oversight of the system.

If the smoke detectors are connected to a central system, it would make practical sense for the strata company to be responsible for their maintenance and management. A well-managed strata company will typically have a bylaw in place to ensure proper governance and oversight of the system, ensuring compliance with safety standards and providing clarity on responsibilities.
