## How to prepare my listing with safety essentials?

For your safety, always communicate on Resortifi. And use Resortifi messaging system to get to know your guests and share expectations about your space. Read profiles and reviews of your potential guests. You can also ask them to verify their identity. 

**Help guests know what to expect**

Complete your property rules and guest manual and include anything you’d like people to know before they book—ex: whether (or where) smoking is allowed, or if certain areas are off-limits. 

**Make sure you’re covered**
Talk to your insurance provider about adding an extra layer of protection with your own renters or homeowner’s insurance.

**Responsible hosting**
Hosting offers rich experiences, but it comes with a certain level of commitment. According to the CDC, carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in the United States. Installing a carbon monoxide alarm is a simple step that can save lives. For active Resortifi Hosts that qualify, you can sign up for an alarm from us.

-  **Know about carbon monoxide safety**

Install a carbon monoxide alarm—and update your listing to inform guests.

-  **Home safety: Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms**

Hosts are encouraged to install carbon monoxide alarms in their space. 

-  **Disclosing safety information to guests**

Make sure your listings are updated to accurately reflect the safety features included, so your guests know what to expect.

Safety is one of our top priorities. To help prevent surprises and ensure transparency, we ask that Hosts welcome guests responsibly by completing all safety and accessibility sections.
