Airbnb's no-camera policy

[Christian Hutchinson]

Hello,

I have a property I rent rooms out to individuals. I literally had cameras installed last week.  AirBnB is one of the platforms I use.  I installed them in the common hallway, the entry door, kitchen, and a common hallway where there are multiple rooms.

How does Airbnb expect people to monitor their properties.  People may attempt to break-in to others rooms.  There are things such as damages to common areas, theft, unauthorized guests, etc.  The cameras are not in bathrooms or bedrooms. Literally Hallways and a kitchen.

This would be like telling a hotel you can't have interior cameras in their hallways to to their individual rooms.

I would never rent an Air B&B with interior cameras. That is a major privacy concern, I 100% understand why the company is shying away from the practice. How does Air B&B know you didn't install a camera in the rest room? If they OK the use of interior cameras they open themselves up to lawsuits/ litigation. I'm sure that's exactly what happened and why they changed the rules.
