Airbnb says they're permanently banning parties and events on their properties.

It was a temporary ban put into place in 2020, but the company says they've seen a 44% drop in party reports since.


Guests who violate the policy will either be suspended or removed from the platform.

Police in Pittsburgh continue to investigate the Easter Sunday mass shooting at an Airbnb on the North Side.

Investigators say the shooting happened during a party with hundreds of minors in attendance.

"At Airbnb, we believe the neighborhoods and communities in which we operate are as important as the Hosts and guests who use our service," a press release said.

"In turn, we focus on trying to deter the very rare cases of Hosts who do not operate responsibly, or guests who try to throw unauthorized parties."
