LOS ANGELES—Airbnb is putting in place policies to prevent disruptive parties over New Year’s Eve weekend, continuing an effort to encourage safe and responsible travel during a time when some people are more inclined to throw unauthorized parties, the company announced Dec. 8.
The ban on certain one-night bookings during New Year’s Eve for home listings in Los Angeles, and throughout Southern California and the country, are in effect for guests without a positive account history—or no bookings at all—and complementing Airbnb’s other party prevention systems and party bans, which were codified over the summer.
