  "account": "Airbnb has updated its house rules policy, restricting what hosts can require from their guests. Hosts can no longer ask guests to do tasks such as washing dishes or making beds when checking out. However, they can still request guests to put dirty dishes in the sink or collect used towels. The new rules, taking effect on November 20, also prohibit hosts from banning guests from using amenities listed in the accommodation description.",
  "summary": "Some Airbnb landlords are demanding that their guests wash the dishes and put the laundry in the machine before leaving the accommodation. The platform now wants to put a stop to this.",
  "key_points": [
    "Airbnb hosts can no longer request guests to wash dishes and sheets before check-out.",
    "Guests can still be asked to use dishwasher and collect used towels.",
    "New rules effective November 20, with possible exceptions for specific circumstances."
