Airbnb is taking new steps to prevent renters from throwing unauthorized parties.
The company said it has rolled out new "anti-party" tools that will help identify potentially "high-risk" reservations.
The technology being implemented will look at various factors before allowing a person to rent, including their rental history, length of trip, distance traveling to the listing, and timing of the reservation, Airbnb stated.
"This anti-party technology is designed to prevent a reservation attempt from going through," Airbnb said.
The company said a similar type of technology was successfully utilized in Australia.
"We have seen a 35% drop in incidents of unauthorized parties in the areas of Australia where this pilot has been in effect," the company said.
This comes after Airbnb placed a permanent party ban in June for unauthorized parties. The company reports a 68% year-over-year drop in parties in Tennessee reports since introducing the originally temporary policy in 2020.
No system is perfect and AirbnB said some possibly negative guests could still slip through. The company encourages neighbors of any of Nashville's 4,000 Airbnb listings to use the support line to report concerns at 1-855-635-7754.
