AIRBNB will launch a new feature that lets neighbours report renters who turn pads into party houses, the company announced.
The new website tool will allow people living near loud or wild renters of Airbnb properties around the world to give “feedback” about those troublemakers, according to the firm.
It’s the best way for people renting their abodes to know what’s going on while they’re away, an Airbnb rep told Bloomberg Business.
“One of the most important issues facing the sharing economy is how the people choosing to take part in it coexist with those that aren’t. Our first step in this direction is to give neighbours the opportunity to comment or complain,” said Yasuyuki Tanabe, the head of Airbnb in Japan.
Neighbours can also use the feature to complain about people who rent out pads, he said.
The feature will go live in Toyko in roughly two weeks and start in New York City and other cities in months to come.
Airbnb has not commented on how it will use the feedback to monitor users or if the data will be made public.
