My mother lives next to a busy Airbnb. The Airbnb guests regularly wake her up at 2AM by drunkenly pounding on her door. She complained to Airbnb. They don't care.
My previous apartment building (in a tourist area) was full of Airbnb guests partying on the weekends. They caused damage, got into fights with residents, and generally made it feel like living in a hotel.
Airbnb's investors all live in large houses with security and would never tolerate this kind of problem in their own lives.
- FireBeyond 11y agoShe shouldn't be complaining to Airbnb, of course they don't care - complain to the city.

Were the airbnb rentals legal ? If your mom owns her condo , she'd know that therefore be able to denounce the fraudster to the organisation that manages the building. There is plenty of things your mom can do to force an illegal airbnb rental to shut down. And why would she complain to airbnb ? it's a well known fact that they don't get involved because it's their business model, all the risk is passed to the landlord and the renter.
- wpietri 11y agoShe probably mistook them for people with some sense of integrity or responsibility toward the society that they operate in. A natural error.
- hkmurakami 11y agoInterestingly, that actually tends to happen after the first financial windfall.
- mahyarm 11y agoComplaining to airbnb is like complaining to a local newspaper ad, craigslist, AWS or another marketing organization for listing something. It's barking up the wrong tree. You complain to the person who owns the unit, the condo / HOA board, the police and the municipality. Because those are the real people who have the ability to deal with something.
- jacquesm 11y agoThat's too simplistic a picture. AirBNB directly facilitates, receives payment and so on, so they are not the same as a 'marketing organization' or merely a listing company.
