But this policy may struggle to address the camera problem at large, as the company has already required hosts to disclose the indoor cameras, and guests have sometimes reported hidden and undisclosed cameras.
The new rules also require hosts to disclose to guests whether they are using noise decibel monitors or outdoor cameras before guests book.
“This just emphasizes the fact that surveillance always gives a huge amount of power to whoever controls the camera system,” says Fox Cahn. “When it’s used in a property you’re renting, whether it’s a landlord or an Airbnb, it’s ripe for abuse.”

They need a rule making the chore list part of the listing.
Of they want to be a hotel, they need to do the work that entails.
I paid $3500 for a weekend at a 4 bedroom condo in a little christmas town. Took an hour to complete the bullshit list. I mean the condo was modern and pretty nice, but fuckif i’ll ever do that again.
3500 for a weekend is completely nutshit crazy?? You could have a nine star hotel with blackjack & hookers for that price.
Normally $300-500 for a roach hotel during christmas time. Condo was 2000sqf 5 bedroom for a family vacation. No where was it state about a damn chore list. Now ill just stay in the hotels.
No, there should be no chore list
Other than instructions on where to leave the key or how to lock up, there should be nothing else
Nah it’s fine as long as it’s all upfront. Personally i don’t mind doing a couple of simple quick chores -which i would like to be sure of before renting, and i know that some people don’t want to do any chores -which you should be allowed to filter out those listing. Everyone wins except the scamy userous airbnb hosts.
That’s how it started… Basic things like taking out the trash and it was worth it because it was so cheap and/or better value than a hotel
But now they want you to mow the lawn and you are often not saving anything… So there is no balance any more
