“Airbnb will no longer allow hosts to use indoor security cameras, regardless of where they’re placed or what they’re used for.”
Until April 30, Airbnb let hosts film the living room as long as they mentioned it in the listing. The ban comes after years of guests finding hidden cameras. Enforcement is a guest report followed by an Airbnb investigation, so the host who already hid a camera keeps hiding it. The rule only stops the honest hosts.
