(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home4/scienrds/scienceandnerds/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114Source: https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/6\/28\/23186141\/airbnb-party-ban-policy-16-person-occupancy-limit-lifted<\/a> In 2020, Airbnb introduced a temporary ban on house parties and events to better follow social distancing restrictions with the pandemic. Now, the company says it\u2019s been so pleased by the outcome of the ban that it\u2019s making it permanent<\/a> and codifying its rules.<\/p>\n \u201cOver time, the party ban became much more than a public health measure,\u201d said the company in a blog post. \u201cIt developed into a bedrock community policy to support our Hosts and their neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n The ban prohibits \u201call disruptive parties and events,\u201d with a particular focus on open-invite gatherings (those advertised on social media) and \u201cparty house\u201d properties. Disruptive parties and events are essentially defined as those that attract complaints from neighbors. Airbnb says it suspended the accounts of some 6,600 guests for violating the party ban in 2021. (Though this is a tiny figure considering that the company has more than 150 million users. Whether this is due to lax enforcement or infrequent violations, who can say.)<\/p>\n In addition to making the party ban permanent, Airbnb is lifting a 16-person occupancy limit it also introduced in 2020. The company says this is because there are plenty of properties that can comfortably host more than 16 people, and that many of these are used for \u201cmulti-generational family trips and larger groups.\u201d This particular policy change will take effect \u201cin the coming months,\u201d says Airbnb. <\/p>\n Even prior to the pandemic, Airbnb had been slowly changing its policies on parties. Earlier in 2020 it removed an \u201cevent-friendly\u201d search filter and the option for listings to be marked as \u201cparties and events allowed.\u201d It also banned \u201cparty houses\u201d<\/a> in 2019 after five people died during a 100-plus person Halloween event at an Airbnb property in Orinda, California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
