In this episode, Leo and Sarah discuss two key industry developments. First, they explore Airbnb’s partnership with Zumper, which allows rental communities to promote themselves as short-term rental-friendly, giving building operators more control over guest stays while offering tenants additional income opportunities. They also dive into Airbnb’s new policy requiring the full price, including cleaning fees, to be shown upfront, examining the potential impact on hosts and guest booking decisions. Both trends signal important shifts in the STR landscape, particularly in pricing transparency and urban rental models.
