Smoke Alarm woes

[Jackdown]

Hi there myself and a friend have recently started renting a newly converted flat and we are having some trouble with one of the fire alarms in the place.

It is wired into the mains and mounted on the ceiling downstairs in between the two bedrooms.

However it has a recurring problem that every now and again if something is plugged in, in either one of the bedrooms, then the fire alarm sets itself off.

Does this sound like we have a nasty short circuit somewhere and what should we be pushing the the landlady to have done to sort this.

Hope that makes sense and thank you for the help.

Is it a smoke alarm or a fire alarm?? What are you plugging in which sets it off?

Sorry it is a Kiddie consumer smoke alarm....... not sure of the model but a fairly cheap one I think.

It usually goes off when we turn the sockets that our computers are plugged into on but it has also gone off when we've plugged in lamps and or phone chargers.
