Airbnb is banning indoor security cameras


Hosts can still have outdoor cams, though.

The vacation rental app previously let hosts install security cameras in “common areas” of listings, including hallways, living rooms, and front doors. Airbnb’s new policy also introduces new rules for outdoor security cameras, and will now require hosts to disclose their use and locations before guests book a listing. If a guest reports the presence of an indoor camera after that, Airbnb says it will investigate and that it could remove the host’s listing or account as a result.
