Airbnb has allowed security cameras in places like hallways and living rooms as long as they were disclosed as part of the listing. That ends in April.

Airbnb is banning all use of indoor security cameras in its listings worldwide beginning next month, reversing a longstanding policy that allowed homeowners to peek in on guests in common areas, the company announced this week. The company said in a statement Monday that most listings on Airbnb do not have a security camera, so the update in policy isn't expected to affect many rentals on the platform.

'These changes were made in consultation with our guests, hosts and privacy experts, and we’ll continue to seek feedback to help ensure our policies work for our global community.' It is not clear what prompted this change. However, privacy in short-term rentals has been a hot topic of discussion for years. Guests have long posted on public forums about feeling uneasy after finding cameras in common areas of homes where the devices were not disclosed.
