Airbnb bans 鈥榩arty houses鈥 after 5 killed
Print Edition
Airbnb Inc says it鈥檚 banning 鈥減arty houses鈥 in the wake of a deadly shooting at an Airbnb rental in California, US.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said the San Francisco-based company is stepping up efforts to 鈥渃ombat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive host and guest conduct.鈥 He also said: 鈥淲e must do better and we will. This is unacceptable.鈥
Airbnb has always banned unauthorized parties but it plans to increase enforcement of that policy.
Chesky said Airbnb will expand manual screening of 鈥渉igh risk鈥 reservations that are flagged by its system. Reservations for one night at a large house, for example, might get extra scrutiny.
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.
Chesky said Airbnb is also forming a rapid response team dedicated to house parties. He didn鈥檛 say what the team would do that police don鈥檛 already do.
Margaret Richardson, Airbnb鈥檚 vice president of trust, will oversee the rapid response team. Airbnb will release more details after Richardson conducts a 10-day review to determine the scale of the problem and the best way to fix it.
Five people died after a Halloween party shooting in the San Francisco suburb of Orinda.
The woman who rented the home lied to the host saying she was renting so her asthmatic family could escape wildfire smoke.
But more than 100 people attended the party.
