NEW AIRBNB POLICY JUST DROPPED...AND IT COULD KILL YOUR LISTING.

If you collect emails, drop a guidebook link, or offer guests early check-in via Venmo…

You might be in violation of Airbnb’s new policy.

In this episode, Mike Reilly breaks down exactly what Airbnb’s new off-platform & fee transparency rules mean for STR hosts.

And how to stay compliant without losing control of your business.

  • Why asking for an email could get you flagged
  • How to safely use guidebooks, QR codes, and text marketing
  • The only way to charge guests for add-ons (without breaking policy)
  • The smart way to collect damage waivers and manage taxes without risk
