Hi @Nubia35. I’m so sorry this has happened to you. There have been a number of threads where hosts have had issues with commercial filming, guests downloading porn on their cable account etc - and what they have done through advice to rectify the issue.
I really think the devil is in the details:
1. Don’t advertise that you are overseas in your listing. Leave that for a conversation after you have a booking reservation, via the AIrbnb message board. that you list in your house rules. You can say you are not always available but have family (cohosts) attending and checking.
2. Maybe be specific as to the maximum number allowed within the apartment.
3. Tighten your basic house rules. If it’s in black and white, you are protecting yourself.
Mine are very WHS specific to my space, including cyclone management, tropical flora etc.
But here are some I’ve included over time, from what I have learnt here:
“- No EXTRA adult/s, infants or children as overnight visitors. Only persons (including infants) whose names are listed as guests in the registered booking are permitted.
- No parties or events
- No illegal activity or inappropriate anti-social behaviour.
- No commercial operations/photo shoots/commercial filming or adult filming on site.
Noting: the police, other authorities, including Airbnb, will be contacted for your removal.”
I have other rules for fire and pool safety etc, but what hip have listed above, are probably what you need to add.
I hope this helps...
