Airbnb Is Cracking Down On New Year's Eve Party Rentals In Louisville

Party-and-dash revelers, consider yourself warned.

Rental platform Airbnb has implemented new anti-party rules that will make it harder for people to rent Louisville homes through its app to hold New Year’s Eve parties.

Guests without a history of positive reviews on its platform won’t be able to make one-night reservations for entire houses. What’s more, the company is flagging certain two-night and three-night rentals made by guests without a positive review record — among those, rentals made at the last minute.

“This ongoing crackdown has been well-received by our Host community. Based upon their feedback, we’re announcing today that we will beef up this anti-party initiative even further and expand it to include three-night reservations as well,” says Liz DeBold Fusco, of Public Policy & Communications at Airbnb, in an emailed statement. “We are publicly communicating this initiative to help support our Cincinnati Hosts and send a message to would-be partiers that we won’t tolerate that type of behavior on our platform.”

Those with histories of positive reviews won’t be affected by the new safeguards.
