Short-term rental platform, Airbnb has banned surveillance cameras inside rental properties worldwide effective April 30, a measure it says is aimed at simplifying its policy on security cameras and other devices as it seeks to prioritise customer privacy.
Before this change, the platform allowed owners to have cameras in common areas, such as living rooms, kitchens and hallways, as long as they were disclosed on the listing. Security cameras were not allowed in areas such as bedrooms or bathrooms.
