Criminal activity at Airbnb party houses has been happening for years, but a shooting in Orinda, California on Halloween night that left five dead finally sparked action from the company. Two days later, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky announced that Airbnb would put an end to party houses.
“Starting today, we are banning “party houses” and we are redoubling our efforts to combat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive host and guest conduct, including conduct that leads to the terrible events we saw in Orinda,” Chesky tweeted.

On Wednesday — two days before the armed robbery — Airbnb vowed to verify all of its 7 million listings for accuracy, quality, and cleanliness by December 2020 and launch a 24-hour emergency hotline in the U.S. by the end of the year.
It remains to be seen how long it will take Airbnb to actually ban all its party houses — and how many may fall through the cracks even after new rules are put in place.
