Service Animals vs People w Allergies

AirBnB policy require host to allow service / emotional animals and suggest it is discriminating to now allow such animals into the home.

 

Many guest (including my son) have severe allergies to many animals and even with extensive cleaning - can easily / quickly have symptoms which can include difficulty breathing.

 

I understand AirBnBs inclusive “welcome everyone“ policy - however - this specific policy welcomes some and excludes others (like my son).

@Chester27,

My property manager and cleaner have animal allergies.  I have stated on my listing that due to their allergies no animals are allowed.  The right to bring service and emotional support animals must comply with the safety and health of host's household and support team.

Don't just believe what I say, check the Airbnb Help Center
