Airbnb bans hosts from requiring guests to do cleaner-level chores
Airbnb told hosts in a Wednesday email that, starting with bookings made on or after November 20, they can no longer require guests to perform tasks typically done by professional cleaners, such as stripping beds, hauling trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes. The company said hosts cannot sidestep the rule by listing such chores under the 'Requests' section, though a spokesperson said reasonable asks, like leaving dishes in the sink, remain allowed.
