Do you need credit for Airbnb?

While Airbnb doesn't typically do any type of background check or credit screening, their terms of service make it clear that Airbnb reserves the right to do so. However, it's not common for this policy to be enforced. Another way that Airbnb provides some type of screening is with both guest and host reviews.
