The Airbnb Resident Hosting program unlocks hosting for residents living in apartments, condominiums, and other multifamily buildings. Building owners, managers, and homeowners’ associations (“building management”) can offer residents the ability to host on Airbnb according to their building rules and policies.

The Resident Hosting program also gives building management access to tools, including a customized dashboard to track any revenue share they earn and provides insight into hosting activity for listings opted into the program.
Today, this program is primarily for buildings in the United States and the United Kingdom. To find out if your building is part of the program, check with your building management or, for those in the United States, look for it on airbnb.com/airbnb-friendly.

Your building management may require you to share a portion of your Airbnb earnings as a condition to your participation in the Resident Hosting program (“revenue share”).
The revenue share percentage and the specific calculation of your earnings used to determine the revenue share varies by building. The calculation may be based on the nightly rate you set, which includes any management fees, resort fees, or community fees that are rolled into the nightly rate through our professional hosting tools, if applicable. Find out more about Airbnb’s professional hosting tools. The calculation may also include lodging or hotel taxes, cleaning fees, extra guest fees, pet fees, and other fees and amounts you add to your nightly rate, which guests must agree to during checkout.
You can reach out to your building management for information on the specific revenue share percentage and calculation details applicable to your building. This information will also be displayed during the enrollment process.
Your building management may change the revenue share percentage and/or method of calculation from time to time upon no less than thirty (30) days’ written notice. However, if such change reduces the revenue share applied to your earnings, that reduction may be effective on five (5) days’ written notice.
If you use co-host tools, there are some general limitations to sharing payouts with co-hosts on Airbnb, depending on your and your co-host’s location and/or where your listing is located. Learn more about co-host payouts. In addition to those general limitations, hosts who have opted into the Resident Hosting Program should know the following:
