The short-term home rental service will now ban 'party houses' and step up its efforts against unauthorized parties, according to a series of tweets from Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky. The new policies arrive on the heels of a deadly shooting at an Orinda, California home that was rented on the service.
Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb, tweeted on Saturday that the company would bar “party houses” and step up its efforts against unauthorized parties.
Airbnb will ban "party houses" after a deadly shooting at a California home that had been rented through the service. The company will create a dedicated "party house" rapid response team, and it will expand manual screening of high-risk reservations, Chesky tweeted.
