I assume that rentals without smoke detectors have other red flags. For the owner's sake, installing a smoke detector protects their investment! Pure negligence.
P.S. You definitely don't want to stay at an AirBnB in Italy!

- Handytinge 4y agoI couldn't find the original study, but as an Australian, I'm shocked. 100% of homes require smoke detectors here, must be positioned outside of every bedroom, and must be less than 10 years old. It's a requirement for building. 83% seems crazy low to me, let alone 2%!
