can UberCab happen here, ie. some zealous DA would come down on AirBnB itself and/or subpoena the records of people renting out?
- jellicle 15y agoSure. I would think that sooner or later, the hoteliers in, say, Manhattan would start complaining about people engaging in hotel business without following the hotel rules. There's a financial incentive as well: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dof/html/business/business_tax_hotel.shtml http://www.nyc.gov/html/dof/html/business/business_tax_hotel... So yes, at some point I'd say it is likely that AirBnb's records are going to be used against their customers. Some of AirBnb's customers aren't breaking the law, but some are.
