Warning: You must follow the local weapons laws for the property’s location.

If you have weapons at your property, you must include a Weapons Policy in the House Rules section of your listing. These weapons must be securely stored during a guest’s stay.

If you don’t have weapons at your property and want to ban guests from bringing weapons, we encourage you to include a Weapons Policy in the House Rules. This informs your guests about what you do or don’t allow.

Weapons Policy guidelines
  • Add the policy to the House Rules section of your listing
    • Note: If you’re an integrated property manager, update the house rules within your software. 
  • Disclose the presence of all weapons at the property
  • Confirm that the weapon/s will be secured in a safe place during a guest’s stay
  • Be specific about the types of weapons you allow or don’t allow at your property

If they escalate the issue to us, we may:
