Airbnb Chief Executive Brian Chesky said Wednesday the home-sharing company will implement a sweeping verification system of all 7 million of its listings following the Halloween night shooting at a rental house in Orinda that left five people dead.

Chesky outlined Airbnb’s plan in an email sent to company employees, and which was made public on its newsroom site. Chesky said Airbnb will immediately begin verifying the details of all of its listings, including the accuracy of rental house photos, addresses, and specific details about each unit, as well as quality standards including cleanliness, safety, and basic home amenities. Chesky said Airbnb has set a goal of verifying all of its listings worldwide by December 15, 2020.
