Working on something new for hosts with 1 to 3 properties who want their listing to bring in the right guests, without rewriting it every time bookings dip. It's about making the listing say who the place is for, so the right guest books and the wrong one keeps scrolling. Anyone else staring at their listing right now, wondering what to change? 👀

If Airbnb's email about house rules landed in your inbox this week, you may have many different feelings about it, here's the short version. The new policy covers bookings made on or after November 20, and the new house rules editor is already live in your listing. Three things change for a part-time host. 1. Only what's written in your house rules section counts. A rule in a message, the guidebook or a sign on the door is no longer something a guest has to follow. 2. Checkout asks narrow to four requests: used dishes in the sink, used towels gathered, trash sorted into the indoor bins, the AC turned off. 3. In most cases you can't require a separate contract, keep a copy of a guest's ID, charge a fine, or make guests register in an app to get in unless you offer another way in. Bookings made before November 20 keep the rules that were on your listing when the guest booked. Nobody needs a message from you about the old ones. Which of the three touches your listing?

This week's system is not a document. It is two lines. After anything goes wrong, before you close the laptop, write what broke and what information would have stopped it. Four lines a month is an operations manual by spring. Will you try it this week?
