Was in the same exact situation last time I rented. I ended up calling the inspection company (Fahrenheit 451 in my case) and they not only agreed asking everyone to stay home is a bad idea (turns out it was the boards easy way out), they then did a "inspection" over the phone in lieu of doing it themselves. Have you heard the alarm within the past year? If so, passed!
Another time I couldn't answer that I have, so they actually set a time for the guy to be there, as he was in the building pretty much all day for 5 days. Then they actually tested with a quick blast of fake smoke.
