A Brampton site is among locations suspended by Airbnb in its crack down on party houses.

The short-term rental company said the move follows complaints about listings that violated their policy on parties and events.

“Our actions today address the very small minority of hosts who have previously received warnings about hosting responsibly or have otherwise violated our policies,” stated the company in a release.

Earlier this year the company introduced a pilot project in Canada to restrict users under the age of 25 from booking entire homes.

Airbnb says the pilot has been successful and the practice has been expanded to the United Kingdom, France and Spain.

It says concerned neighbours can call a 24/7 hotline if they think an Airbnb property is hosting a party in their area.
