#COVID-19: Airbnb Issues Global Ban On House Parties
Airbnb has announced a global ban on parties and events listed on its platform in a bid to comply with COVID-19 health protocols.
The San Francisco-based home-sharing company said the ban, which applies to future bookings, will limit occupancy to 16 people and will remain in effect indefinitely. Citing changing public health mandates on gatherings, Airbnb said some customers have chosen to “take bar and club behaviour to homes, sometimes rented through our platform.”
The company said it will expel or take legal action against hosts and guests who don’t comply with the new rules.
“We think such conduct is incredibly irresponsible,” Airbnb said in a blog post on Thursday. “We do not want that type of business, and anyone engaged in or allowing that behaviour does not belong on our platform.”
Unauthorised parties have long been prohibited by most hosts. Airbnb cracked down on “party houses” last year after a fatal Halloween night shooting at a listed home in California.
