But this policy may struggle to address the camera problem at large, as the company has already required hosts to disclose the indoor cameras, and guests have sometimes reported hidden and undisclosed cameras.
The new rules also require hosts to disclose to guests whether they are using noise decibel monitors or outdoor cameras before guests book.
“This just emphasizes the fact that surveillance always gives a huge amount of power to whoever controls the camera system,” says Fox Cahn. “When it’s used in a property you’re renting, whether it’s a landlord or an Airbnb, it’s ripe for abuse.”
Nah it’s fine as long as it’s all upfront. Personally i don’t mind doing a couple of simple quick chores -which i would like to be sure of before renting, and i know that some people don’t want to do any chores -which you should be allowed to filter out those listing. Everyone wins except the scamy userous airbnb hosts.
That’s how it started… Basic things like taking out the trash and it was worth it because it was so cheap and/or better value than a hotel
But now they want you to mow the lawn and you are often not saving anything… So there is no balance any more
