Airbnb Inc. says it's banning"party houses" in the wake of a deadly shooting at an Airbnb rental in California.
The company also plans to crack down on hosts who allow their homes to become long-term nuisances in their neighborhoods. Effective immediately, the company will remove guests and hosts who fail to comply, Chesky said. Margaret Richardson, Airbnb's vice president of trust, will oversee the rapid response team. Airbnb will release more details on its policy after Richardson conducts a 10-day review to determine the scale of the problem and the best way to fix it."What happened on Thursday night in Orinda was horrible. I feel for the families and neighbors impacted by this tragedy. We are working to support them," Chesky said in a tweet.
The owner was suspicious of a one-night rental on Halloween and before agreeing reminded the renter that no parties were allowed. More than 100 people had gathered for the party, police said.In 2018, the company permanently banned a guest who crammed more than 250 people into an Airbnb rental in Seven Hills, Ohio, for an unauthorized New Year's party while his host hid in a bedroom.
This is why you can’t have nice things
They’ll ‘ban’ it, but as with all their other policies fail to enforce the ban in any way what so ever.
Because the house rental, not guns, is the problem....
Mm yes, because house parties are en epidemic.
A beautiful scenic line
Knee-jerk changes are always the best.
close the barn doors, the horses are out !
