no signs posted around the house, fees as determined by the host, or messages from the host after a guest arrives will be considered mandatory for guests after December 6th 2026.
if you're wondering, those types of house rules were a gray area this whole time.
while the specific new chore guidelines are suggested to hosts, the new actual rule is that the airbnb host must display all house rules in the listing so they are known to guests before booking, which makes way more sense.
mostly seems like a good idea and more fair, especially since many hosts charge cleaning fees without cleaning anything. the suggestion of only hosts do dishes , though...if a guest uses the dishes, they should wash the dishes.
That said, too many airbnb listings accept a booking and then you show up and signs with extra chores(that i ignore if i disagree with) and rules(that i ignore if i disagree with) are plastered all around the house or received in a direct message.
what do you hosts, guests and travelers think?
