The Airbnb rules nobody tells you about, handled
Letting on Airbnb makes your home a business in the eyes of fire and gas safety law. HostSorted shows you exactly what that means for your place, and keeps you on top of it.
Free for one property, including the guest safety page. Upgrade to Host for the full house guide.
Why it’s harder than it looks
Airbnb doesn’t check your safety
Hosting is easy to start, but the responsibility is yours: a written fire risk assessment, a gas safety check every year, working alarms and fire-safe furniture.
Nights add up across platforms
If you also list on Booking.com or Vrbo, Airbnb only sees its own bookings. In London the 90-night limit is per property, across every platform.
Guests ask the same questions
What’s the Wi-Fi? How does the oven work? Who do I call if the heating stops? And you still have to give them fire safety information.
