| Airbnb is offering U.S. hosts free safety items. |
Airbnb expects all U.S. hosts to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors by the end of 2014. Once you have them installed you must indicate it in your listing. If you don't comply they say they will remove your listing from the site.
To help get hosts on the road to safety they're offering to send you one free detector, a first aid kit, and an emergency numbers card.
Not a bad idea. I had them installed years ago in all my rental properties. Each kitchen also had a fire extinguisher (still does) and I'm surprised they're not requiring that too.
Smoke/CO2 detectors aren't very expensive and you should have more than one in a property. If you want to spend some money, NEST has one out with one that costs about $130 and can be silenced by waving your hand at it (in case you burn the roast.)
