I am wondering about this too! I don’t understand the email because I do not have a security deposit, never have. It says “because your listing requires it” but I have never heard that before. I checked my listing just a min ago and it still had no security deposit on it. What am I missing? Is ABB going to be adding a required deposit to my listing?

hi 

have also recieved this email about automatically holding a security deposit. 

have emailed them to ask them not to do this (they will be recieving the interest on the security deposit  whilst it is held maybe this is why they are wanting to do this)

Have had the same property for 20 year its low risk.... 2 guests only  

Now some guest may not book due to the security deposit as its an added payment thta they may not have up front 

As a host with rental experience in other property types that are high risk, the host should make this decision

I also got this email - and have no idea what it actually mean in practice.  Another poor email from airbnb which doesn't explain what they are going to do and what the implications are.    Grrrr
