Story summary
- Airbnb announced a new U.S. house-rules policy that takes effect on November 20, 2026.
- The policy bars hosts from requiring guests to wash dishes, strip beds, take trash offsite, or launder linens.
- Hosts also cannot collect personal IDs, enforce separate contracts, or fine guests unless law mandates it.
- Permitted rules include maximum guests, quiet hours, pets, smoking, events, photography, and checkout lock.
- Many hosts warned the limits could weaken property protection and push them off the platform.
