Does Airbnb actually check your age?

Does Airbnb Check Age? According to Airbnb's Terms and Conditions, people who are under 18 are not allowed to use the platform. This is because minors who are under 18 cannot enter into a short-term rental agreement. When you upload your ID, Airbnb is able to check your age and provide this information to the host.
