So you think the government should step in to regulate (or "enforce contracts" if that phrasing makes you feel more comfortable) AirBnB, where many of the properties are sublet in violation of the contract between landlord and tenant?
What would that "enforcement" look like in a libertarian world? Government contract inspectors with guns turning up to AirBnB properties to demand the tenants stop subletting?
AirBnB is precipitating one of the biggest changes in modern times in the rights of property owners to stipulate terms and conditions to those who rent from them, but all I see is libertarians cheering wildly because it 'disrupts' zoning and health and safety laws and screws over the (apparently) powerful hotel lobby.
