but is agreeing to such a statement problematic.
(i think that it may even be room for a religious discrimination law suit. Basically they refuse to service somebody who wont declare something that is against his beliefs. If i judge such  people in the torah way, that they act in a way of abomination i am not allowed to rent from Airbnb, even if I am not discriminating based off of that belief. My ability to lie is irrelevant.) -I know ,wrong thread. My main post was whether it is ok to agree.
everyone is biased and judges others. its human nature. what they are doing in their agreement is basially telling you to agree to be a superhuman rebbe/tzaddik who loves all beings like himself. they may be doing it because they are woke or because it makes them feel good but it doesnt have anything to do with reality and you can agree away.

Would you treat a guest/host with such an orientation differently and judge the stay differently? That seems to be all they are asking for. I don't see how that would be problematic.

it says agree to judge the person not the stay.i know they couldn't care less and its just a politically correct insincere  demand  but you are making a problematic declaration. Slowly but surely we are getting used to toeiva and are being forced to accept it

No it does not. It says to treat them without judgment or bias.

what is wrong with treating everyone with respect and without bias? You don't have to respect them, you have to treat them with respect.

BTW if you start reading the t&c's of every account you open you might not be opening that many accounts anymore.

I don't usually go into details but he said that it's ok since it's a Kablan, and that כדי שיעשו will not apply
