Airbnb carbon monoxide detector mandate would be ‘very hard,’ CEO says, despite deaths

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky acknowledged the difficulty in mandating carbon monoxide detectors across all listings globally due to varying local regulations and verification challenges. Despite efforts, including a program offering free detectors to hosts, only a small fraction of Airbnb's listings have participated. Chesky emphasized the importance of ensuring safety in every listing, considering alternative strategies beyond a blanket mandate.
