DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – Airbnb announced on Tuesday a crackdown on party houses throughout Texas.
According to the company, over 80 listings across the state that have received complaints or otherwise violated company policies on parties and events have been suspended or removed from the Airbnb platform. This follows Airbnb’s policy change to ban parties at Airbnb listings globally until further notice.
“The vast majority of hosts in Texas contribute positively to their neighborhoods and economy, and they also take important steps to prevent unauthorized parties – like establishing clear house rules, quiet hours, and communicating in advance with their guests,” Airbnb’s Ben Breit. “Our actions today address the small minority of hosts who have previously received warnings about hosting responsibly or have otherwise violated our policies.”
The suspensions were spread throughout Texas and included Dallas and Fort Worth.
In 2019, Airbnb established a 24/7 Neighborhood Support Hotline. The hotline is staffed with trained agents so that neighbors can reach the company directly with their concerns.
