Free town hall for Tahoe owners · Thu, Oct 29 · Zoom

Tahoe Airbnb Compliance Town Hall

Starting with bookings made November 20, Airbnb takes away most of the tools Tahoe owners use to protect their homes. Required rental agreements, guest ID checks, rule-break fees and checkout chores are mostly gone. Your county still holds you responsible for occupancy, noise, bear-proof trash and the fines. Here's what to do before Nov 20.

What we'll cover

What we found, and what to do about it

We read Airbnb's new policy line by line, next to every Tahoe county and town code, and the software companies' responses. Here's what we'll walk through.

01 · The changeWhat changes on Nov 20 Rental agreements, guest ID, fees, house rules, checkout instructions and signs.

What Airbnb allows now, what it doesn't, and the narrow exceptions: local law, HOA rules, stays of 28 nights or more.

02 · Your countyCounty by county A few Tahoe jurisdictions still let you require a signed agreement or ID check. Most don't.

Placer, Truckee, El Dorado, South Lake Tahoe, Washoe (Incline Village, Crystal Bay) and Douglas (Stateline, Kingsbury, Zephyr Cove, Round Hill).

03 · LiabilityCovering yourself without a rental agreement Your paper trail used to be the signed agreement. Here's what replaces it.

Where to put your rules so Airbnb counts them, how to document what guests agreed to, what to keep on file, and why to call your insurance agent.

04 · Fines & damageWho pays when a guest breaks the rules You can't charge your own fees anymore. Here's what you can still recover.

Asking guests to repay a real county fine through Airbnb, AirCover for damage, and which counties can cite guests directly.

05 · From the countiesWhat the counties tell us We've asked each county and town how they see these changes.

We'll share every answer we get back before Thursday, plus your questions, live.

  2. Fines land on ownersRepeat violations can cost thousands and, in some counties, your permit.
  3. A signed agreement was your paper trailIn most Tahoe jurisdictions, Airbnb now says you can't require one. We'll show you what replaces it.
  4. Documentation and insurance matter more nowWhat to keep on file, and the questions to ask your insurance agent.
