Airbnb and Vrbo are working together to target banned ‘party houses’

Vacation rental giants Airbnb and Vrbo are cracking down on properties that frequently host raucous parties, the companies said Friday.

The companies are co-developing a “community integrity program” to identify problem properties — and share the information with each other, they said in a release. “The information will be available for each company to take the appropriate action,” according to the companies, which said they’ll work through a “trusted third-party intermediary” to identify properties that have been permanently banned from each platform.
