Airbnb permanently bans house parties and events

Source: Airbnb

Airbnb will no longer allow its users to hold house parties and events. It started as a temporary ban in 2020 as a way to better follow social distancing restrictions, but now it says it has "developed into a bedrock community policy to support our Hosts and their neighbours. The ban prohibits "all disruptive parties and events," with a focus on open-invite gatherings (those shared on social media) and "party house properties." These disruptive parties are basically the kinds of parties that attract complaints from neighbours. 

Aside from this ban, the company plans to lift the 16-person occupancy limit set in 2020, with the change expected to take effect "in the coming months."
