Airbnb implements new rules restricting mandatory guest cleaning chores

THE BRIEF
1
Airbnb has introduced a policy prohibiting hosts from requiring guests to perform significant cleaning tasks, such as stripping beds or washing dishes, before checkout.
2
The platform stated that hosts must be 'reasonable' and cannot impose fines for failure to complete chores that typically require professional services.
3
The rule change follows years of guest complaints regarding high cleaning fees coupled with expectations to perform labour during their stays.
