In April, for instance, two teens were killed and several people were injured at a party thrown in an Airbnb-rented property in Pittsburgh.Īirbnb said there was a 44% year-over-year decline in the rate of party reports in June, which it attributed to the policy change.Īirbnb has been testing similar technology to address the issue in Australia since 2021, with a 35% decline in unauthorized parties following the rollout, according to the company. Over the years, Airbnb has had to confront headlines about violent incidents taking place during parties at rental properties.
