Airbnb Inc. is adding Starwood Capital Group and other landlords to a program offering rental properties that are also eligible for short-term stays, in a bid to attract tenants who aim to become hosts themselves.
San Francisco-based Airbnb currently partners with 250 buildings that allow renters to lease their apartments part-time on the home-sharing platform, a 43% increase from when it launched the program last fall. Renters across 38 cities can browse Airbnb-friendly apartments on the company’s website and use a calculator to see how much income they could generate through part-time hosting.
