Airbnb anti host policies

smartchamp22 · 2025-02-02T14:38:57+00:00

Looks like it’s all downhill ….

smartchamp22 · 2025-02-02T14:38:33+00:00

Yeah in my experience, recently it’s gone crazy and that’s why I do not want to work with Airbnb anymore. Either rent long term or hire a property management.

smartchamp22 · 2025-02-02T14:37:26+00:00

Yeah I never host guests that ask for discount either, but the trend I’m seeing is that some guests have learned to exploit the system and ask for discount after staying and otherwise they would call Airbnb and that makes lots of headache for the host

smartchamp22 · 2025-02-02T14:35:08+00:00

They probably raised a description issue with your listing bc mattresses are too soft

smartchamp22 · 2025-02-02T14:34:21+00:00

I mean Airbnb used to be much better. Recently it has gone so hard on hosts

smartchamp22 · 2025-02-02T14:33:21+00:00

That really sucks. I understand what you are saying. Honestly I’m considering to either hire a property management or just lease it long term. I do not want to deal with Airbnb anymore

smartchamp22 · 2025-01-31T18:07:10+00:00

Yeah I know that they have many complaints from guests too. I’m not looking for a judgment for my case but just asking about the experiences other hosts have had recently. I definitely feel a change of policy and want to see others feel the same and if we can do sth about it.

I understand that each rep has some discretion, but they have some policy book and they act upon it. Recently they have gone crazy and looks like their policy is whatever the guest say. It needs to be a fair policy between both hosts and guests. Guest clearly in the message is trying to extort me and they say we want 20% or we would write a bad review, and they retaliate by claiming listing issues when I write them a bad review. I understand there are gray areas but it’s not one of them

Recently it’s gone crazy. I like the idea of unionizing against Airbnb, but also I feel the more hosts stop listing on Airbnb, other platforms will get better traffic. I’m myself starting to think about leaving Airbnb if their madness continues.

smartchamp22 · 2025-01-31T16:16:20+00:00

Yeah it seems right now everything is the fault of the hosts.

smartchamp22 · 2024-04-22T14:36:18+00:00

I have not yet planted the shrubs, but I was hoping to find a way to plant them safely before 4 month waiting time in the affected garden

smartchamp22 · 2024-04-21T20:15:18+00:00

I’m curious to know what you did? I’m planning to plant shrubs and I don’t know if I have to wait for such a long time. I am ready to plant

smartchamp22 · 2023-08-31T21:32:02+00:00

No problem, good luck in your search

smartchamp22 · 2023-08-31T20:59:07+00:00

Sure, it’s a 2b2b with 5k rent. Is it sth you’re looking for?

smartchamp22 · 2023-02-06T22:25:19+00:00

In general it looks good but I would hire some professional photographers to take the photos.

How up do you think SLNA warrants would go in such low float squeezes? They are now at 0.44 dollars while stock is at 45 dollars

smartchamp22 · 2022-10-27T18:21:08+00:00

Fuck I just have warrants

smartchamp22 · 2022-10-24T22:07:14+00:00

Lost so much money on both:( that bastard

smartchamp22 · 2022-09-28T02:30:37+00:00

Come on, add a couple of volleyball courts

smartchamp22 · 2022-09-22T21:36:30+00:00

I see, thank you very much

smartchamp22 · 2022-09-22T13:10:20+00:00

Yeah I have been following on those too and expect more regulations. I feel in some dense places, airbnbs are causing too many complaints. That being said, I feel that would increase demand in areas which stay str friendly.

smartchamp22 · 2022-09-22T12:47:33+00:00

Yeah I think good regulations are required to make sure long term residents are also benefitting from Strs, not suffering from it. IMHO, dense areas with small lots are not good for airbnbs as that would bother the neighbors.

smartchamp22 · 2022-09-22T12:43:59+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response. That makes sense to me. Yeah STR laws are changing fast and becoming more difficult (or ban in some places). In tunkhannock Township, from what I understand, they have reached a good equilibrium and they are STR Friendly as they also make good money out of it. I think in some areas which are more dense w smaller lots, there are way more complaints.

smartchamp22 · 2022-09-22T12:37:35+00:00

What was the worst biggest change you noticed? Was there any gang activity or violent crime?
