Lodging service Airbnb has decided to put ban on “Party Houses” and to strengthen its policies by taking strong steps for the protection of hosts and guests after the killing of five people in the Halloween shooting in Ordine, California.
Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb has made this announcement with a series of tweets on Saturday which he started with writing “What happened on Thursday night in Orinda, CA was horrible. I feel for the families and neighbors impacted by this tragedy – we are working to support them.”
Starting today, we are banning “party houses” and we are redoubling our efforts to combat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive host and guest conduct, including conduct that leads to the terrible events we saw in Orinda. Here is what we are doing:
