Airbnb announced rules, effective November 20, barring hosts worldwide from requiring guests to strip sheets, wash dishes or remove rubbish, or to do tasks a cleaner would normally perform. The ban also covers fines for guests who skip the chores, and any task a host still requests must be disclosed in advance. The change follows complaints about cleaning fees stacked on top of chore lists. Guests have welcomed it; some hosts warn of hygiene issues and higher cleaning costs passed on as higher fees, and hosts are now organizing a petition and a platform-wide strike, with some saying they will delist.
