Listing Setup: Airbnb - Adding Additional House rules
Listing Setup: Airbnb - The Setup
In short
When OwnerRez manages your Airbnb listing, your detailed house rules should be added in OwnerRez rather than typed directly into Airbnb. OwnerRez lets you override the channel rules at the property level, so each listing can carry its own rules and they sync to Airbnb. Checking the formatting before saving makes sure the rules display cleanly to guests.

Questions people ask
Should I add house rules in Airbnb or OwnerRez?
If OwnerRez is your channel manager, add them in OwnerRez so the channel manager stays the source of truth and doesn't overwrite your changes.
Can each property have its own house rules in OwnerRez?
Yes. Property-level channel rules let you set different house rules for each listing.
