Nov 20 Listing Rescue Pack

Airbnb changed the rules on Oct 20. They apply to every booking made from Nov 20.

Send your listing link, saved messages, and sign photos. Get paste-ready rewrites in 5 business days. From $199 per listing.

For every reservation booked on or after November 20, 2026, these are out:

Cleaner-work checkout lists
Host-set fines
Separate contracts
ID collection

Even when they're phrased as friendly “requests.” Earlier bookings keep the rules shown when the guest booked.

Sample exhibit — composite demonstration

What a pack looks like — a labeled sample.

SAMPLE. Sample built from common pre-policy wording, not a real host's listing. The founding-test pack was free and will be shown with that host's consent.

Checkout — before Fails Nov 20

Sample composite — typical pre-policy checkout text (not a live listing field or a saved message from a real host):

Before you leave:

Strip all beds and start a load of towels

Wash and put away all dishes

Take all trash to the dumpster by the parking lot (off-site)

Set the thermostat to 60

Lock up

Why it failsAirbnb Help 4168 bars hosts asking guests to complete tasks that require significant effort or time, or would typically be performed by a cleaner — including washing and putting away dishes. Airbnb's Resource Center guidance likewise says guests shouldn't be asked to strip beds or start a load of laundry. The test attaches to the task asked, not to how politely it's wrapped — “if you can” inside a steps list doesn't cure it.

Checkout — after Paste-ready sample

The sample rewrite — same care, zero cleaner work:

Thanks for staying with us. Before you head out, all we ask is:

Gather any used towels in the tub

Set the thermostat to 60

Lock up at checkout — one of Airbnb's 7 standard rules, also carried here as a checkout step

Our cleaner takes care of the rest. Safe drive home.

Why it passesDishes in the sink, towels gathered, and trash sorted into indoor bins are Airbnb's own published examples of light asks that survive as requests. We do not present other quick property-care steps as Airbnb-published examples — they are judged under the policy's reasonableness test.

Contract, ID & fines — before Fines are banned

Sample composite — from the sample listing's rules text (same source for both panels in this row):

“All guests must sign our rental agreement and text a photo of the lead guest's driver's license before check-in codes are sent.” Plus: “Late checkout will be charged a $75 fee.”

Why it failsHelp 4168 is blunt: hosts may not “impose fines or other penalties.” Help 4169 bars a separate contract and ID copies as a booking condition unless a published exception applies.

The preferences, kept — one softened As requests

The sample keeps the host's substantive preferences — with one softened from instruction to request, as a real pack discloses to its host:

Standard rules selected include: maximum overnight guests 8 · quiet hours 10pm–7am · no events · no commercial photography · lock up at checkout. Moved to Requests: “We would love a 10am departure so our cleaner can turn the house — thank you.” Removed: agreement signature as a booking condition, ID photo by text, and the $75 late fee. The resort HOA's signed amenity waiver for an optional recreation pass is kept tied to that optional amenity only.

Why it passesUnder the new policy, free-text items are requests guests are encouraged — not required — to follow. Real cleaning or damage costs go through Airbnb's resolution process, not a pre-announced charge.

What changed Oct 20

What changed Oct 20, and what Nov 20 triggers.

Nov 20 is a booking date, not a stay date. Every reservation booked from Nov 20 onward is judged under the new policy — so bookings made under your old text start stacking up the day it flips. Sources: Airbnb Help Center articles 4168, 4169 and 472, and Airbnb's Resource Center guide to the new house-rules policy — read in full. Links at the bottom of this page.

House rules: 7 standard options only

Pets · Events · Smoking/vaping · Quiet hours · Max overnight guests · Commercial photography · Lock up at checkout. Everything else in your text becomes a request — encouraged, not enforceable.

No cleaner work at checkout. No fines.

No stripping beds, washing and putting away dishes, starting laundry, or hauling trash off-site — and no host-set penalties of any kind. Light asks survive as requests: dishes in the sink, towels gathered, trash sorted into indoor bins.

No separate contract, no ID copies

Unless an exception applies — required by law or HOA/community rules, an optional amenity, a 28+ night stay, or a Luxe listing. You may still physically check ID in person at check-in if you disclose it in your requests. You may not keep a copy unless an exception applies — and then it must be disclosed in your requests.

No new rules — or requests — after booking

Not by message, not by a sign in the house, not in person. The editor works on your listing fields — Airbnb says non-compliant requests there “will be highlighted.” Your saved messages and in-home signs aren't listing fields, and an editor won't tell you whether a contract exception covers you.

If issues persist, Airbnb can put a guest-visible notice on your listing (guests may see an alert like “includes cleaning requests”), reduce your search visibility, and — for repeat contract/ID violations — suspend or remove listings. The editor highlights problems; it doesn't fix them.

The pack

Six deliverables, handed back paste-ready.

Send your listing link, your saved messages, and photos of any in-home signs. You get back, within 5 business days of complete intake:

You paste the text in yourself — we never touch your Airbnb account. Airbnb listings only.

House rules, mapped

What fits the 7 standard options becomes your rule selections; anything else becomes a compliant request — all word-for-word ready to paste.

Checkout, rewritten

Cleaner work removed outright; the light asks Airbnb expressly allows kept as reasonable requests.

Messages, scrubbed

Every saved template you send checked for contract asks, ID requests, fines, post-booking rule changes, contact-information requests, third-party app or separate registration requirements, and off-site review asks.

Signs, rewritten

The signs you send photos of, rewritten to match the new policy instead of contradicting it — a sign may only repeat a request already in your listing.

Contract & ID check

A plain-English checklist: which published exceptions could cover your practice, what evidence Airbnb may ask for, and your options if none does — including your own direct-booking channel for guests who find you outside Airbnb (Airbnb bars steering its guests — including repeat bookings — off-platform).

Before / after record

Every changed field with the before text, the after text, the policy provision it answers, and the date — so you can show exactly what changed and when.

Pricing

One listing, or your whole portfolio.

Secure checkout via Stripe. Tax calculated automatically at checkout. After checkout, the Stripe confirmation page gives you an intake form link (about 10 minutes): upload a file or paste text for your saved messages, plus photos of any in-home signs — that's the complete intake (defined below).

Choosing: 1–2 listings — $199 each. 3–5 listings — $499 flat.

Have ready (about 10 minutes): your listing link, your saved message templates, and photos of any in-home signs. Remove guest names first — templates only.

Already compliant? Full refund, and you keep the record. We refund your payment in full, and you keep the before/after record. “Passes” means your rules, checkout text, saved messages, and in-home signs all pass the policy checks — with the contract & ID review reported separately in that record — judged against Airbnb's published policy as of October 2026 and evidenced line-by-line. If you disagree with any call, say so within 14 days of delivery and we refund in full. And if Airbnb flags any text we rewrote within 30 days of delivery — an editor highlight, a listing notice, or a guest alert — we rework that text free, for the text as delivered. We'd rather refund you than sell you a rewrite you do not need.

Revisions: one correction pass is included — if we got something wrong, we fix it within 14 days of delivery. Rewrites for listing text you have since changed are a new pack.

Your files: the messages and sign photos you send are deleted 30 days after delivery.

Who's behind this

I'm Mirza. I own and operate a small commercial building in Virginia, so leases, house rules, and fine print are my day-to-day. When Airbnb published the new house-rules policy, I read the whole thing — then checked a friend's listing against it, and his checkout text and saved messages broke the new rules in several places. This pack is the fix I built for him, now offered to other hosts while this test runs. It's a one-person operation: I read every intake myself, and I never touch your Airbnb account.

Complete intake means: your listing link + your saved messages + photos of any in-home signs (or one line saying there are none) + payment. Intakes completed by Wednesday Nov 11 are back in your hands before Nov 20; later intakes still deliver within 5 business days, but may land after the first Nov 20 bookings. If this test closes to new orders, every paid order is still delivered in full or refunded — buyer's choice.

How it works

Three steps.

Check out

Pick the $199 or $499 pack above. The checkout form collects your listing link(s) — that's all we need to start.

Complete the intake form

After checkout, the Stripe confirmation page gives you an intake form link (about 10 minutes): upload a file or paste text for your saved messages, and add photos of any in-home signs (or mark that there are none).

Paste it in

Within 5 business days of complete intake you get paste-ready text plus your before/after record. You paste the text in yourself — we never touch your Airbnb account.

Nov 20 is a booking date, not a stay date: every booking made from Nov 20 is judged under the new rules, and earlier bookings keep the rules shown when the guest booked.

Straight answers

Before you ask

Is this legal advice?

No. This is a listing-text service, not legal advice. Airbnb judges each listing in context and can change its policies; the pack applies Airbnb's published policy as of October 2026 to your text.

Airbnb's editor already flags problems. Why pay for this?

Airbnb can flag a listing (a guest-visible notice, reduced search visibility) if issues persist. The editor works on your listing fields — Airbnb says non-compliant requests there “will be highlighted.” Your saved messages and in-home signs aren't listing fields, and an editor won't tell you whether a contract exception covers you — that judgment is precisely the gap the pack fills.

What if my text is already compliant?

Then it's a full refund, and you keep the record: we refund your payment in full, and you keep the before/after record showing it passed. “Passes” means your rules, checkout text, saved messages, and in-home signs all pass the policy checks — with the contract & ID review reported separately in that record — judged against Airbnb's published policy as of October 2026 and evidenced line-by-line. If you disagree with any call, say so within 14 days of delivery and we refund in full. That guarantee is also printed on your Stripe confirmation page. And if Airbnb flags any text we rewrote within 30 days of delivery — an editor highlight, a listing notice, or a guest alert — we rework that text free, for the text as delivered.

What do you need from me?

Complete intake means: your listing link + your saved messages + photos of any in-home signs (or one line saying there are none) + payment. Intakes completed by Wednesday Nov 11 are in hand before Nov 20; later intakes still deliver within 5 business days, but may land after the first Nov 20 bookings.

Does a 5-listing pack take longer?

No. A 5-listing pack still delivers within 5 business days of complete intake.

Are revisions included?

One correction pass is included — if we got something wrong, we fix it within 14 days of delivery. Rewrites for listing text you have since changed are a new pack.

What happens to the messages and photos I send?

They're deleted 30 days after delivery. We never need your Airbnb login, and we never touch your Airbnb account — you paste the text in yourself. Airbnb listings only.

Why is the exhibit labeled a sample?

The real founding-test pack was provided free — the host received this pack free as the founding test case — and it will only be shown with that host's written consent. Until then, this page carries a composite sample built from common pre-policy language patterns, labeled as a sample, with no real host's name, listing name, or stats.
