Renting to teenagers

Good morning from New York! Our Airbnb is in Ocean Pines, Maryland, which is about 10 minutes by car from the beach in Ocean City. Every year, there is what's called "Senior Week," where high school seniors spend the week partying and having fun at the shore before graduation. I got an inquiry about renting to 6 teens for a week, which I declined. I am not comfortable with that many kids and no adults. My question is: Does anyone have any language I can include in my listing that says there needs to be an adult in the booking? Or is it just that simple?

Thanks, all! Happy New Year!

Oh you probably don't even need to put anything @Robin1533 because Airbnb Party Pooper Naba B has fixed that with AI as per discussions in here.

Good luck trying to get bookings at other times and remember it's unlawful to discriminate based on Age.

Hello @Robin1533 

 

There is an Airbnb link that expressly says that you have to be 18 years old to create an account so you could send this to them if the person renting does not meet this criteria:

Personally I would block the week out to avoid the risk of having people coming to party @Robin1533
