How it works
When you enroll your building in the Airbnb Friendly Buildings Program, you'll allow home sharing within your desired constraints. In an addendum to your standard lease or building rules, you and participating hosts can agree on the percentage of the hosts’ profit you’ll receive and other conditions. You can also create safety and neighborly rules that participating residents must follow in order to home share. Airbnb’s platform then requires each host and guest to accept those rules.
The Airbnb Friendly Buildings founding principles
Increased transparency
As a building owner, you get access to a customized dashboard that lets you know when residents participating in the program are hosting, how many guests are staying with them, and how much money is being earned.
Greater control
You can define home sharing terms for participating residents—like blackout dates and pet policies—in your lease addendum or building rules. You can then use the dashboard to monitor the hosting activity of participating hosts.
Partner with residents
A growing number of tenants and buyers view permission to home share as a valuable amenity. The Airbnb Friendly Buildings Program helps you to attract and retain these residents.
Why it works
The Airbnb Friendly Buildings Program provides you with an organized way to manage home sharing. The program can also help bring in and retain tenants and buyers. Most current Airbnb hosts rent out primary residences, and the Airbnb Friendly Buildings Program is intended to support hosts who share the home in which they live.
