> This doesn't need to be a legal issue. It's simply a rule of the building. People violating it are violating their contract with their building just like when they violate any other rule. This sounds good in writing, but in practice, is nearly unenforceable. The mechanisms for landlords to stay on top of this are either unrealistic or draconian. eg, monitoring everyone that enters and leaves and analyzing it, asking tenants to do the same and then snitch on their neighbors, or doing door to door checks. AirB&B is banned by the contract in the building I live in, and while I respect that because I happen not to be interested, it's virtually unenforceable and I have no way of knowing whether others in my building adhere to it. IMO, legislation that forces services like airb&b to do only what's on the tin, short term, limited scope, infrequent rentals of residential spaces by people who occupy them the majority of the time, is both reasonable and necessary. Without those checks, which airb&b is totally uninterested in enforcing themselves, the service basically becomes a black market hotel market for property hoarders.
