HB 1102 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Fuel Gas Safety Act.

HB 1102, known as the Fuel Gas Safety Act, requires landlords in North Carolina to install and maintain fuel gas detectors in any room containing appliances powered by propane, natural gas, or liquefied petroleum gas. The bill mandates that these detectors be operational at the start of each tenancy, with landlords responsible for replacing batteries and repairing or replacing units upon written notice of defects. It also extends similar safety requirements to commercial buildings and public higher education facilities, while allowing security deposits to cover damage to these devices. Penalties of up to $500 per violation may be imposed on landlords who fail to comply with the new installation and maintenance rules.
