Item #1 isn't a problem at all. Every day, courts have no trouble differentiating a business from what you do with your friends. Courts aren't stupid.
Additionally, laws are not executable code, not every hair has to be split up-front. Each of your scenarios would be addressed individually in a court of law.
As for #2, AirBNB could operate 100% entirely within the law tomorrow, if they wished: assiduously ban rentals that aren't owner-occupied.
This is exactly what I expect them to do.
Obey the damn law. Comply with investigators completely reasonable requests. Stop trying to "improve the legal situation" by shielding lawbreakers and issuing nonsense press releases.
- Zak 12y agonot every hair has to be split up-front This can make it difficult to know whether what you're doing is legal before incurring liability. It becomes a problem if a new official has a different interpretation of the law than the last one and decides to pursue enforcement aggressively. People can lose their livelihoods this way. Comply with investigators completely reasonable requests. You mean turn over private information about their customers to government officials who intend to take actions against those customers when they haven't been legally compelled to do so? If a company did that to me, I'd probably never do business with them again, and I would do my best to notify others.
