Airbnb is taking more steps to crack down on parties and nuisance guests in the wake of a Halloween shooting at an Airbnb rental in a San Francisco, US suburb. Those are parties open to anyone and advertised on social media, for example. In early 2020, guests will get a warning for one instance of excessive noise, unauthorised guests, unauthorised parking, unauthorised smoking or excessive messiness reported by a host or a neighbour. The owner of the Airbnb rental didn't authorise the party, which had more than 100 guests. "The challenge for Airbnb will be enforcing these rules, though, as its immense scale can make that difficult," Guttentag said.
