Airbnb Inc., the biggest home-rental service in the U.S., said it will cancel all reservations in the Washington area next week during the inauguration of Joe Biden and will prohibit any new rentals from being made, moves designed to minimize further attacks at the capital.
The company canceled 5,500 reservations in the Washington area, Chris Lehane, Airbnb’s senior vice president for global policy and communications, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television on Wednesday.
