DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF)- Airbnb announces a global ban on parties in it’s rental listings, including a cap on occupancy at 16 people.
This is primarily relevant to larger homes that were previously able to accommodate 16+ people.
Ben Breight with Airbnb says this party ban applies to all future bookings and it will apply indefinitely until further notice.
He said many of the hosts already complained about the parties because of the mess and they can be disruptive to neighbors but also, Covid-19 has been a factor.
“There’s no question that with Covid, this is more important more than ever…we are doing everything we can do stop any unsafe parties,” he said. “We hope that this will better support and protect our hosts.”
Breight said guests will be informed about the new rule and Airbnb may take legal action if they violate the policy.
