No more parties and events in homes listed on Airbnb, the short-term home rental company said on Thursday as it tries to enforce strict social-distancing norms to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new rules include a cap on occupancy at 16, with hosts or guests who try to skirt the rules facing a ban from Airbnb’s community and even legal action, the company said on Thursday.
“Instituting a global ban on parties and events is in the best interest of public health,” Airbnb said in a statement, adding that the ban applies to all future bookings.
Airbnb said 73 percent of its listings globally already ban parties in their house rules, while some hosts allow small parties such as baby showers or birthday parties.
