@Lisa723 That link is behind a paywall, but I found this in a different article :-
"Airbnb will ban new US listings when a city notifies us that the listings are located at rental properties where the tenant has been evicted due to nonpayment of rent, and where the tenant had been protected by the CDC moratorium," the company said.
"By working with cities to prevent landlords from using our marketplace to profit from removing a vulnerable long-term tenant from their home based on non-payment of rent, we believe we can send a strong message that will help keep people in their homes at this critical time," Airbnb added.
Airbnb also encouraged other vacation rental sites to join its effort to protect renters. "
This description seems different from the idea the Wapo title suggests. I understand it to mean that places where long term renters were already in residence, and may be evicted once the Covid moratorium lifts, may not be converted to Airbnb STRs.
