Airbnb is clamping down on parties in listed properties gettyAirbnb has announced a global ban on parties in accommodation booked through the site, threatening to take legal action against anyone who breaks the rules. With nightclubs remaining shut or severely restricted in many countries, rented Airbnb accommodation has been used to host parties, often in contravention of local lockdown rules. Perhaps wary of further denting its reputation ahead of its forthcoming IPO, the company has announced a ban on all parties in its listings. Furthermore, the company is threatening to sue anyone who flouts the rules in airbnb accommodation. “Guests will be informed about Airbnb’s party rules and informed that they may be legally pursued by Airbnb if they violate our policy,” the company says.
