Home share company Airbnb is launching a platform to help prospective renters search for apartment buildings across the country whose policies allow for part-time hosting.
The apartments will still be a renter’s primary residence. Each building will also have its own community rules for hosting, which "renters are expected to follow" in addition to Airbnb's community standards, Airbnb said.
Airbnb said the update will, however, "allow more renters to tap into the economic benefits of home sharing." According to a survey commissioned by Airbnb, 41% of hosts said they are using their rental income to cover higher living costsRenters who have already rented within Airbnb-friendly apartment buildings reported being able to host an average of nine nights per month. They have also earned an average of $900 per month, according to Airbnb.
"We believe cities can help renters better afford where they live by supporting Airbnb-friendly apartments and embracing policies that allow renters to share their space," Airbnb saidA woman browses the site of US home sharing giant Airbnb on a tablet in Berlin on April 28, 2016.The move also marks the company's latest effort in trying to remove any barriers that may keep people from signing up to host.
During an interview with FOX Business earlier this month, Airbnb co-founder Nate Blecharczyk said there are about 4 million hosts on the platform, but they have seen more than 60 million people come to the hosting page.

Breakingviews - Airbnb has promise as the quasi-immobility firmAirbnb is a boon to mobile travelers - but soon might benefit from immobile, old-school renters too. The $60 billion shared-housing platform run by Brian Chesky is partnering with property management giants Equity Residential , Greystar Real Estate Partners and others to help rent out apartments. The arrangement will allow tenants at their big housing complexes to sublet on Airbnb’s platform. That may draw local ire, like the company's regular offering.
