Illegal and prohibited activities

Airbnb doesn’t allow illegal activities and other behaviours that could harm our community. These include:

• Illegal drugs: We don’t allow the use, cultivation, production, or distribution of illegal drugs. Any legal drugs should be stored in a safe manner to prevent unintended access. Guests should always follow host's house rules, including as they relate to smoking and the use of drugs.
• Child sexual exploitation: Forcing, manipulating, or enticing someone under 18 years old, regardless of local laws, to engage in sexual activity, whether in person or online, is prohibited. Learn more.
• Human trafficking: Recruiting, harbouring, transporting, transferring, or receiving of an individual by force, fraud, or coercion for the purposes of labour or sexual exploitation is not allowed. Learn more.
• Incall commercial sex work: An Airbnb reservation should not be used for paid sexual services, such as erotic massages or prostitution. This includes the surrounding property of a home, service, or experience.
• Procuring sex work: Guests should not request and hosts should not promote or offer paid sexual services.
• Commercial pornography: An Airbnb reservation should not be used for the creation of commercial pornography, photos, or videos.
