‘While the introduction and expansion of Airbnb into cities around the world carries large potential economic benefits and costs, the costs to renters and local jurisdictions likely exceed the benefits to travellers and property owners.’ And analysis conducted by the Economic Policy Institute, a non-profit, non-partisan American think tank, found that the economic costs of Airbnb likely outweigh the benefits:
Homeowners and landlords also benefit, as turning their rooms and properties into short-term lets can offer an alternative and lucrative source of revenue.īut in recent years the impact of Airbnb’s service on local economics and rental markets has come under the spotlight. Then there are the clear economic benefits for local economies that stand to gain from the increase in tourists supported with a wider variety of affordable and available holiday listings. I’m wondering if anyone has gotten help from law enforcement in this situation (particularly in a blue state).The platform is widely enjoyed for its access to holiday lets ranging from single rooms to entire properties, varying in quality and affordability, and offering a markedly different experience to that found in a hotel. I asked why they would intervene on the locks if they considered this a contract dispute. They said I could not for some reason they couldn’t explain. I asked if I could change the locks while they were there. They said they couldn’t do a civil accompaniment either. I asked if they could accompany my older husband since I was worried for his safety in going to talk to this group of young men who already showed no indication they had any respect for our property. I said we no longer had a contract because it had been canceled by AirBnb but they didn’t care. They said this was a contract dispute and it was a civil case so they wouldn’t help. I called the sheriff, told them the situation, said that these people were now trespassing and asked them for help. AirBnb spoke to them and their reservation was canceled. The guest had several unauthorized guests stay over. Although my situation appears to be currently under control and I understand that after 30 or so days that tenant rights kick in but we are talking about two days.
