NBC News has identified 19 deaths since 2013 that occurred at Airbnb properties and are alleged to have involved carbon monoxide poisoning as the company faces multiple lawsuits.
The moment it’s for rent it’s required. Pretty crafty requirement. In my opinion it should also be mandatory in owner-inhabited housses - it’s a very cheap way to prevent pretty unpleasant death.
First of all, a death by monoxide is not unpleasant. The thought of death is but monoxide just puts you to sleep (for ever)…
Now… I get that detectors are great, and I also agree that people should get them! But there’s a huge leap from that, and to make them mandatory.
I also get that is it required to have in commercial rooms but airbnb is originally a service to rent a room in your house or maybe your apartment when you dont need it. Its up to people themselves to choose if they want to have a detector and also up to the customer to chose if they want to rent something without a detector
Lastly, they can simply bring their own detector with them if they want one.
Doesnt matter here. Rent is rent, means youre in for the safety of the renters. So these detectors are required, period. No “but its just a room” or “just for the weekend”. Youre responsable for the safety.

I am not trying to argue how it is in your country. This is a global forum. I am discussing how I feel it should be.
Thats fair. Imo how it is here is good. A renter should feel safe and not have to worry about everything
