Clumsy laws require less intrusion to enforce. A flat ban on short term rentals means they can run through airbnb listings and see who is breaking the law. A rolling 12 month period requires that they track each night you rented your place out.
- ethanbond 10y agoOr Airbnb can save its business model by cooperating with the law and with common sense and simply forbid people from renting beyond that?
- jacalata 10y agoIf you were satisfied with only enforcing it against people renting solely on airbnb, then sure. Seems like it would be easy to work around though.
- ethanbond 10y agoOr they simply have the law as they do now such that it'd be illegal to rent your apartment out through a service that doesn't cooperate in this way.
- mattlutze 10y agoThe regulatory compliance costs would put an undue burden on smaller players to the market though and end up stifling new entrants.
