Are all Airbnbs title II rentals ? I don't think so. That's why Airbnb is successful, because it operates at the "edge" of the law, shifting the risk on both clients and hosts.
- runako 10y agoTitle II is explicit: "any inn, hotel, motel, or other establishment which provides lodging to transient guests, other than an establishment located within a building which contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and which is actually occupied by the proprietor of such establishment as his residence. " If the proprietor is not using the rental as his/her residence, it's defined under US law as a "place of public accommodation," in spite of current efforts to pretend that law doesn't exist. So: not all AirBnB rentals fall under this rubric, but certainly many of them do.
