Airbnb changes checkout rules, bans hosts from requiring dishes and trash tasks
Airbnb is tightening its rules to stop hosts from requiring guests to do time-consuming chores at checkout, such as washing dishes or taking out trash. The new accommodation rules apply to bookings made from Nov. 20. Airbnb will also change how rules are displayed, adding a “Rules and requests” section and warning guests if chores are included. It will also bar hosts from adding separate rules via messages or in-home notices, while allowing limited exceptions for local environmental and safety conditions.
