What happened
Airbnb announced three new rules that will take effect next month, designed to clarify host expectations for guests. These policies prohibit hosts from asking guests to complete tasks that typically require a cleaner, such as washing dishes or stripping beds, if a cleaning fee is paid. Additionally, hosts are banned from imposing fines or restricting access to features advertised in a listing.
