Short term rental property operators are caught in the middle between OTAs, party-throwing guests, and communities. Even when an operator makes the ‘no-parties’ rules explicitly clear and takes steps to prevent party-throwing guests from booking, some may still slip through.

The consequences can be significant, including a suspension of the listing by the marketing and booking engine so critical to finding customers. Airbnb has been on a property suspension binge, putting the livelihood of operators at risk.
