There is a whole industry that has been set up around cleaning and servicing Airbnb rooms. With financial incentives, I don’t see why these services couldn’t be co-opted to also screen for cameras, as part of their regular cleaning. This is just another component of client safety. Would this eliminate the problem? No. But it sure as hell would help.

Making hosts civilly liability for these hidden cameras, unless they can demonstrate they’ve taken proper steps to ensure safety, would motivate this change. Of course hosts will won’t like it, but it’s not as if these people are going to stop renting out their rooms; it’s too financially lucrative.
