📢 Navigating Airbnb’s Latest Policy & Fee Changes
Airbnb’s updated departure policies (Nov. 2026) and recent fee hikes (including the September 15.5% commission restructure) are changing the landscape for hosts and property managers.
We believe these shift platform costs directly onto boots-on-the-ground operations.
The result?
⏱️ Extended turnover times
🛑 Stricter limits on early check-in exceptions
💰 Increased service expenses to cover platform fees and expanded tasks
Our Plan:
Our team at East Home Services is reviewing and updating operational procedures for all current and future clients. We are working hard with our owners, guests, and service crews to adjust schedules, manage fees fairly, and satisfy system demands without sacrificing quality.
We appreciate your patience and partnership as we adapt.
