Flats being rented on AirBnB is definitely competing with long term residents wishing to rent flats.
What is more visible as due to COVID this flats become available for a normal rental.
Obviously AirBnB, booking.com are only one of factors.
- baby 6y ago> Flats being rented on AirBnB is definitely competing with long term residents wishing to rent flats. so are hotels, parking lots, malls, and everything else that take space right?
- pseudalopex 6y agoThose are regulated and taxed.
- baby 6y agoSo? They still provide a downside. Regulation doesn’t make something instantly worth it.
- pseudalopex 6y agoSo it makes sense for cities to limit and balance the down sides of short term rentals the same way they limit and balance the down sides of hotels, parking lots, and malls.
- matkoniecz 6y agoPartially yes, but AirBnB and similar caused widespread effect of flats and apartment buildings being turned into a hotels. Residents of a city (via local government) may have some influence on hotel/mall/parking lot construction but this fails when anyone may buy apartments and starts hotel there anyway.
