Kenyan renters listed on the Airbnb app have started experiencing a downturn in bookings following a global party ban by the short-term accommodation listings company.
Airbnb last month made permanent its ban on parties at the properties rented out through its app globally, saying the rules had been effective against problematic events.
Airbnb said it suspended more than 6,600 customers in 2021 for violating the party ban.
In June 2022, the home-sharing company announced it was permanently prohibiting “disruptive parties and events,” including those promoted on social media.
Renters and rentees who flout the rules could face consequences, such as having their accounts suspended or being permanently banned from the platform.
The ban was enforced following high-profile incidents of insecurity, including a shooting in Houston and Pittsburgh.
