local regulations ruin AirBnB/VRBO in most places in CA
- rchaud 4y agoGood, the regulations are for the benefit of residents, not faux-hoteliers.
- notch656a 4y agoAirbnb was benefitted me many times as a resident when the renter protections in my city made renting difficult. Renting an airbnb allowed my landlord to bypass renter protections which made it very low friction to use airbnb whereas signig a lease was nigh impossible because landlords wanted all kinds of evidence I'd be a good renter as it was so hard to kick a renter out. By using Airbnb, I was able to continue living and working in the city by ceding away my rental protections in exchange for not needing good credit and other assurances for the landlord. Win-win.
