You could file a lawsuit no? I don't get this "nearly impossible to stop" thing. Granted, I don't live there and I share many of your misgivings about the terribleness of what Airbnb does to home prices etc. But it seems like people who are negatively effected tend to just shrug their shoulders while being shat on. If you want the owners to stop their illegal activity, then you have to make it painful for them economically.

>I don't get this "nearly impossible to stop" thing I don't know the situation in the OP's country, but I wouldn't assume that filing a lawsuit is always an accessible option in jurisdictions outside the US. Many countries make it very difficult for the general public to access the court system. Where I live for example, it is extremely expensive to even begin a lawsuit (multiples of median monthly income), contingent legal fees (i.e. no win, no fee) arrangements are illegal (up to 7 years in prison), and class actions (i.e. multi-party litigation) are not permitted.

  In the US it's likewise a relatively expensive and time consuming process for what amounts to a nuisance in the pool and common areas. Without any ongoing enforcement mechanism or ability to show damages in excess of the price of a permanent AirBnB home - the AirBnB host is likely to simply pay any fines and carry on.
