Airbnb Rules News Today

A man is suing his Airbnb “superhost" for “damages to his marriage" after she allegedly attempted to extort her guest by sending his wife pictures of him and another woman.

As of May 1 property owners will no longer be able to post places to stay on sites like Airbnb unless they are in principal residences.

B.C. Premier David Eby said on Monday that there has been a 20 per cent increase in Airbnb listings in a single year during a "massive housing crisis."

After years of battles, the hotel alternative might finally be pushed out.

The Quebec government tabled a bill last Tuesday that would require short-term rental companies to ensure their online listings are certified by the province.

Airbnb has committed to removing all listings from its site that don't comply with Quebec law. The announcement comes after a deadly fire in an Old Montreal building that officials suspect had illegal Airbnbs. That news led to widespread outcry and calls from officials at the municipal and provincial levels for a crackdown on the short-term rental platform.

The company also announced the expansion of its anti-party screening technology.

Online hospitality major Airbnb has announced that all guests will be required to verify their identity for a successful booking, while it will also crack down on parties booked through its service.

A viral TikTok makes fun of all the host rules and fees that Airbnbs have these days. TikTok users totally agreed.
