Frequently asked questions
Does Airbnb require a fire risk assessment?
Airbnb's hosting standards require all hosts to meet applicable laws and safety requirements, including fire safety. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (RRO 2005) requires a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment for any premises where members of the public may be present — which includes your Airbnb listing. A documented FRA demonstrates compliance and protects you as a host.
What fire safety equipment does Airbnb require?
Airbnb requires at minimum: a working smoke alarm on every floor of the listing, a CO alarm if the listing has gas appliances, and a fire extinguisher. FRASafe's questionnaire covers all of these plus escape routes, fire action notices in bedrooms, and guest safety information.
Do I need a fire risk assessment if I only occasionally host on Airbnb?
Yes. The RRO 2005 applies regardless of how frequently you host. Even occasional letting to paying guests triggers the requirement for a fire risk assessment.
What is the England STL Registration Scheme and does it affect Airbnb hosts?
From April 2026, all short-term rental hosts in England — including Airbnb hosts — must register their properties with their local authority. Demonstrating fire safety compliance is a requirement. FRASafe produces the documentation you need ahead of the deadline.
Will Airbnb accept a FRASafe report?
FRASafe produces a written fire risk assessment document compliant with the RRO 2005. Airbnb does not specify a required format — any documented, professionally structured fire risk assessment satisfies their safety requirements.
