If your cash flow depended on guests doing 45 minutes of laundry before checkout, did you ever have a real business, or an unpaid cleaner who happened to pay you rent? Airbnb just rolled out sweeping new rules for hosts, and the internet is up in arms. David Greene is joined by real estate broker, contractor, and ex-Airbnb host Emily Lopez to break down what changed, why Airbnb did it, and how hosts can adapt and still win. In this episode: The checkout chore ban: what you can and can’t ask guests to do, and the 7 house rules Airbnb will still enforce The data crackdown: no more Wi-Fi email capture, gated guidebooks, outside rental agreements, or harvesting guest info for direct bookings Why Airbnb is really doing this: oversupply of hosts, competition with hotels, and protecting guest trust Why the cleaner, not the host, is often behind the chore list, and why cleaning fees are about to go up Practical fixes: linen services, backup washers and dryers, splitting up the turnover, and keeping extra inventory Should you raise prices, go guest-friendly, or move to mid-term or furnished rentals? David’s take on where housing is headed, and why furnished rentals may become the norm 3 things every host should do right now so you don’t end up in “Airbnb jail” Follow Emily: Instagram @emilyalopez | YouTube: You Can DIY a Home Want early access to David’s new program that rewards good guests?
