Airbnb bans indoor security cameras
Airbnb is banning all indoor security cameras in short term rentals.
The new rule will be imposed globally for all listings.
Cameras were previously allowed in common areas such as sitting areas and hallways as long as they were easily visible and disclosed on the rental booking page,
Cameras were never permitted in bathrooms or bedrooms.
Some incidents hit the headlines with hidden cameras discovered by guests in short term rentals.
“Our goal was to create new, clear rules that provide our community with greater clarity about what to expect on Airbnb,” an Airbnb blog post said.
The new policy follows feedback with guests, Airbnb hosts and legal experts.
The company expects it will only impact a small percentage of listings.
Hosts with indoor security cameras must remove them by April 30.
Outdoor security cameras, like patio cameras and doorbell cameras are still permitted but must be disclosed to potential customers before booking.
