who is responsible for things like smoke alarms and co2 detectors etc?
I was staying at a friend's house a couple of weeks ago to mind her dogs while she and her dp were away for the week (4days). I have a habit of checking out fast fire escape routes etc when I stay somewhere new. Just in case. Did that, all fine, smoke alarm seemed fine. Then realised they didn't have a co2 monitor. The boiler is in the guest room which is what put it in my mind yes I am probably too paranoid
I couldn't borrow the one from my own place as my flatmates were still there. So I thought 'oh I'm sure it'll be fine'...for a while. Then I thought 'hell no I'll never relax in this place' especially cos the boiler is in the guest room. So I made an emergency trip to tesco which is the only place that had any and was still open at 10pm. thirty quid later...I finally feel ok to sleep in the flat.
obviously I chose to spend £30 on something which isn't strictly required and of course won't be asking them to reimburse me but I guess my AIBU is this;
is it unreasonable to expect a co2 detector where there is a v small risk of co2 poisoning? and more importantly, would I BU to ask them to get a co2 alarm for when I'm next housesitting? Which will be for 11 days.
and WIBU to repackage the co2 alarm and return it to tesco since I'm now 30quid down. I know I would. Gah
