The short-term rental company plans to limit some customers from booking entire houses over the Halloween weekend.
Airbnb is cracking down on party house rentals ahead of Halloween for a second year in a row, the company said Monday. The announcement came a little more than a week after a party at one of its North Oakland listings ended in gunfire, leaving two teenage brothers dead.
The company said that the measures were first introduced during last year’s Halloween weekend, leading unauthorized parties at its properties in the United States and Canada to drop by more than a third. More specific data, however, was not released. It was unclear Monday afternoon exactly whether the company’s latest rules would have prevented the party booking that ended in gunfire earlier this month in North Oakland.
Airbnb has said the party was “unauthorized” and had been thrown without the knowledge or consent of the property’s host. The company has not released further details about who booked the listing, but it said last week that the booking guest had been removed from its platform and the listing had been deactivated “as we investigate further.”
