Last November, we released our Community Compact to share our commitment to helping prevent short-term rentals from making permanent housing harder to find, or more expensive, in cities like San Francisco.
Today, we announced some steps we intend to take in San Francisco to remove listings that we believe are managed by hosts with multiple entire home listings or unwelcome commercial operators.
As a first step, and to encourage people to share the home they live in, we’re moving forward with a new approach for listings in San Francisco. The goal of this approach is to ensure that:
Hosts are permitted to share only one entire home listing on a short-term basis.
Hosts may continue sharing private rooms and shared spaces as they have previously.
Long-term rentals and traditional hospitality companies like boutique hotels and timeshares may continue to list multiple entire spaces on Airbnb.
You can learn more about this initiative by reading our blog post. We plan to personally contact hosts with listings that may be impacted by this initiative. Please contact us if you have questions.
We believe this plan demonstrates our commitment to making cities stronger by championing hosts who share their own home and removing listings that do not reflect our vision for the community in San Francisco. Airbnb could not have been created anywhere else and we believe this is a positive step toward being a good partner to our hometown.
Thanks,
The Airbnb Team
