I'm proposing the opposite: regulate big operators more heavily than small-time amateurs. If you want to rent out a spare room in your own house a few weekends a year, the government probably doesn't need to be very involved in that. On the other hand, if you're a company that owns 50 condos and lists them all on Airbnb, you should be carrying insurance, you should be subject to inspection for bedbugs, etc.
