> How does discriminating based on race, gender, age, etc guarantee that your property will not be damaged? It doesn't but depending on where you are on the political spectrum it's either called "trust" or "prejudice". That's how people assess personal risk. While a legal hotel has proper insurance, do you really think that's the case for most airbnb rentals? furthermore an hotel manager doesn't have to sleep in the same room/appartement as his guest. > If you want the access and business that using AirBnb's platform provides then you need to adhere to their rules. Pretty simple The real question is whether these rules are seriously enforced or not. I bet they aren't, because most hosts are biased, like everybody else and airbnb business strategy is based on shifting risk upon hosts (and guests). If it wasn't the case it would only list legal hotels.
