Airbnb Inc. will soon give people renting out rooms and homes through its website a better way to find out how the strangers showing up at their properties are behaving.
A new tool will let neighbors weigh in with feedback on Airbnb properties nearby, Yasuyuki Tanabe, the head of Airbnb in Japan, said at a government panel in Tokyo on Monday. The feature will be rolled out globally in a few weeks, he said.
