The move came after a fatal shooting at a Toronto apartment booked through the website.

People under 25 will no longer be able to rent local listings for entire homes on Airbnb in Canada, the company announced Wednesday after a fatal shooting at a Toronto apartment booked through the website.

Guests under 25 years will still be able to book a private room within a host's primary residence, and could be exempted from the prohibition if they receive positive evaluations in at least three recent stays. "We know from our research that 99.9 percent of the people on Airbnb are good people... and treat homes like their own homes," he said.

"Those numbers," he said,"get higher when you're looking at... reservations made by people under 25... within the community they live in."
