You're a landlord. You mentioned in another thread here that you have a strict "no subletting" clause in your contracts with your renters. What could Airbnb do to change your mind? Nothing, I would wager. They don't offer insurance to their client hosts, so they're definitely not going to assist with your insurance.
- nsxwolf 14y agoThey could advocate for making a "no subletting" clause less restrictive, and show some data, or at least give a rationale for why I'd want to do that. I'm totally willing to change my mind. In fact, I'll probably take that step on my own when I rewrite my lease. I would just like to know other people's opinions on best practices instead of taking a shot in the dark, and Airbnb seems uniquely positioned to come up with something. What would be bad is for stories like this to create a backlash from landlords against Airbnb and reduce the usefulness of the concept.
