Effective August 1, 2008, all single family homes in Minnesota must have an operational carbon monoxide alarm within 10 feet of all sleeping areas. This requirement was previously for only new single family homes, but not includes all existing homes.
Buyers and sellers should be aware that this requirement should be met by the sellers before transferring the property. If the seller fails to provide the alarms, the buyer will be responsible to have them installed at their expense.
