Why residents host
Hosts in Airbnb-friendly buildings, in their own words.

- Step 2
Set up your listing

Host on your schedule
Open up only the nights you want. Host while you travel, or just a few weekends a year.
Common questions
The things residents ask most before they list.
What does Airbnb-friendly actually mean?
It means your building has signed an agreement with Airbnb that lets residents host their own home. Your lease allows it, your building knows about it and the rules are set up front.
My building isn't on the list. Can I still host?
Maybe, but we can't tell you from here. If your building isn't in the programme, whether you can host comes down to your lease and your building's own policy.
How many nights can I host?
It depends on the building. Many set an annual cap, and some have no cap at all. If your building is in the programme, we show you its specific limit as soon as you check your address.
Does my building take a cut?
In most Airbnb-friendly buildings, the property shares in the revenue you earn from hosting. The exact split is part of your building's programme terms.
What if I only want to host while I travel?
That's the most common way residents use it. You set your own calendar, so you can host a few weekends a year or block out everything except the weeks you're away.
