Here in Hawaii they had to pass a law. The investors were buying all available real estate and turning them into vacation rentals. It was becoming impossible to find affordable housing. 😕
Airbnb should stay as they began - owners, not the companies, renting out a part or the whole property to guests. Companies purchasing residential properties and listing them on Airbnb should be prosecuted. However, if a property owner has a house in a no-short-rent zone it becames a very difficult question.
Companies are launched and operated by *PEOPLE WHO NEED TO EAT, NEED MONEY TO CARE FOR THEIR SELVES/FAMILY, A PLACE TO LIVE, NEED TO PAY BILLS & OVERALL IMPROVE THEIR LIVES.*

I dont necessarily agree with how the city regulates Airbnbs (plus other short term rentals), but is very concerning how willing and nonchalantly these "legit" companies break the law.
This type of behavior is seen in so many industries. It is profitable for these companies to continue to behave like this because those fines are considered just the price of doing business.
The laws against renting your own property are ridiculous. However I understand the reasoning because short term rentals decrease the value of adjacent Real-estate. No one wants to live next to rentals with vagabond transitory people coming in and out. But there has to be some sort of compromise.
Yea usually im against more regulation but it does hurt the locals who are trying to either sell or setup a long term investment as they have to directly deal with the short term croud which will always be cheaper. Also if your area is known for loud crazy daily parties it drops your value as well

Airbnb guests they don't know. I don't believe it. Bravo to city government in FL. Moe cities need to do this. Most people don't want the noise and an influx of strangers in their area.
So big hotel chains can make money… but small homeowners can’t ..lol.. politician definitely took on bribes . But uncontrolled Airbnb in residential areas r SUPER annoying !!!
I don't see the issue with short term rentals. If somebody buys property, they should be able to rent it for 1 day at a time for all I care. The noise complaints and disruptions are issues, but I don't know why they're trying to just outright ban short term rentals
And at a recent AirBnB in South Florida students overdosed on drugs. Its tragic & unfortunate and if a city doesn't want them in their town they have a right to refuse them. Also, most of them do not pay tourist, sales & income taxes, which is highly illegal.
@@mikeyy425 you can’t pay for social services which help pay for health services unless you have taxes paid by licenses (aka regulation for hotels and motels)
This partly fuels the issues with real estate in the US now. prices skyrocketing yet large companies flush with cash paying over (highly inflated) asking prices just to rent them out moving forward.
In Amsterdam, you’re only allowed to airBnB if you own a property. And trust me, people care about their personal properties, and vet guests better, like letting to solo travelers/couples/pairs and not to a group of ten.
I go to Amsterdam many times a year. The owner is nowhere in site nor on property. You city is grossly overcrowded with over tourism. Look to your neighbors and their money grab for expensive nightly rentals. If the city actually enforces the only so many week rentals in your city you will have a much nicer , controlled ( less crowds and parties) place in which to live.🤷🏻♀️. Many of Amsterdams’ problems will be solved.
Why doesn't Airbnb check addresses against a database for no short term rental zones? If such database doesn't exist they have the money to build one. That way they could block posting where the propriety is in a prohibited area.
AirBnb just wants to turn a profit and they should just say that. It's not about helping homeowners financially. I'm from South Florida, no one living in Miami Beach is "trying to make ends meet." Miami Beach is an ultra expensive city where a lot of wealthy white people live. That's why the mayor is a white man. Whereas, the mayor of Miami is Latino. (There is Miami, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Miami Gardens, and Miami Lakes, FYI.)
The profits is only for Uber and AirBnb big bosses they made it believe that people will be free of a boss and will make tons of money working with these platform but is not true they are the only ones making money not the people That’s why people went crazy went these applications came in they started buying like crazy properties and cars believe they were gonna be free and make tons of money out the applications lol crazy at the end people are not even making it doing uber, lyft, Airbnb and worst now in this economy with gas prices and unemployment
Air bnbs on my block are making the neighborhood worse! High schoolers throwing parties every weekend - or on a Wednesday when all of us come home from WORK exhausted or needing to study - we have their annoying music super loud vibrating our windows. It’s corrupt and is making people looking for a place to live even worse with a shortage on houses and rent going up. Very selfish. I agree with mom and pop air bnb a if they want to make money from an extra room - not buy an ENTIRE property to rent out to random people
Ok. This is BS. I get the issue about corporations buying property to make flop houses for companies. That lessens value of surrounding properties, and the guests may be disruptive, which is completely unfair to the neighbors. But, the question remains, what about the mom and pops? The big hotels, which may be funding these "lawmakers", have been fighting homeowners renting their properties, not because they’re worried about neighborhoods, but because they don’t want competition for tourist dollar market share. There are rules on Airbnb, and those have to be stricter - but, disallowing all homeowners (not renters) to rent their home is throwing the baby out with the bath water, and only benefits other corporations- namely, hotels.
Have you heard of over tourism? Air bnb is why such thing as over tourism exists. ( cruise ships close second for many destinations.) You would most likely think differently if your home was next to one of these homes with constant renters, streams of new people, and parties. Jus sayn
I really think half these airbnb rules that pass are because of hotel chains and other places mad they lost their cut because to have them in some cities now you have to pay the city a minimum amount which to the right person isn't going to be an issue. The other half is just people who don't want strangers in their neighborhood.
you misunderstand the people aren't fined the renter is fined not the rentee actually if you listen closely they actually hooked them up by allowing them to stay there for free and get their refund.
I’m confused. The guy at the start said they have these rules cuz the people that wanna do air BNb there aren’t the mom and pop shop type people… but all the ones they talked to seems to be mom and pop … yep that’s the gov keeping us poor again… and the rich rich
The law will not allow someone to RENT their unit such bs. It's all about MONEY. It's your house, why does the city control what is going on INSIDE your house.
Airbnb is complicit by allowing a Listing to advertise two bedroom apartments set up to sleep eight. Its fine with Airbnb. Miami disagrees with that and so should you.
The Vocayo chick and the guy who works for Air BNB just come off as sleaze balls. They were tap dancing around those questions like the late (and legendary) Gregory Hines. I won't do business with either company.
I disagree. The only reason those locations are desirable is zoning, safety restrictions, taxes and the local spending that Airb&b evades! Owners that break the law must be treated like the criminals that they are, along with the companies that assisted in the crime!!!!
Not being able to rent out your own property is none sense. To address noise complains and very loud parties. The host following the law can set the rules of no partying and take responsibility to enforce this. If the host keep allows guest to break the rules and law.Airbnb can implement a 2-3 strike policy that kicks the host from the platform
Alot of these properties are being re-rented from tenants. These arent the true owners. Imagine renting out your property to a tenant and then they turn it into a hotel.
Because it can artificially increase the cost of living. It is nearly impossible to rent in my city because you can get 4x the income doing short term rentals. If there are no restrictions then it becomes a race to the top while the permanent residents are forced out. This only really affects areas with high short term rental demands (mostly due to tourism).
@Alex Miami Beach is hardly affordable, if you want to live there you should shell out what it costs. Airbnb does not raise the cost in an area like Miami Beach, rather it brings the hotel costs down and brings more tourists to the area to spend more money at more places.
@@zayzay1ize this is the biggest reason for places like California, Florida, and other high demand places. I guarantee there’s wealthy neighbors and hotel and lodging associations and lobbyists behind these crackdowns.
Airbnb is one of the biggest reasons why we have a housing crisis. Entire areas in San Francisco only AirBnb and that leaves no homes for people to rent.
Truth is if rich could rent and own human they would do it without hesitation for money just look into History for examples black slaves in us/european countries
Can we also crack down on management companies buying up at the homes in a city to rent out? They jack rental prices up. You’re no longer able to rent a small house from a grandma and grandpa of family friends and nothing is affordable.
exactly every city in every country. what about mom and pop having to live next to a homeless encampment?if there were enough places for people to live it wouldn't be a issue but there isn't...taxpayer paying for the enforcement too
People are sooo greedy. You mean with everything being as expensive as it is you are telling me how I can use my land. This video is disgusting and that mayor should be ashamed of himself. So out of touch. 🙄
Exactly know if there is regulation like they require fire extinguisher smoke detectors a map inside stuff like that I can totally understand by telling owners or even people that do rental arbitrage which get permission from landlords to rent the properties and re-rent them out I don’t see why that’s any of the cities or governments business seems more like this Airbnb and VRBO etc. became an issue when the Hotel corporation started to complain and paying and helping finance certain things for local governments and state officials typical.
People complaining that they can’t do short term rentals with their properties would be the first person to call the city when the AirBNB next door has an all night party
How it is different if owners next door have an all night party? If someone violates noise regulation then fine them regardless they are owners, long term renters or short term renters.
Just don’t say anything and never let people inside without a warrant. Don’t self snitch. But the govt has a point. It’s basically large corps that have money buy up all the property and don’t leave any for residential living turning it into commercial places
These are just big hotels feeling threatened by Airbnb entrepreneurs taking there share of the hospitality pie. What do industry leaders do when they wanna crush the competition they pay lobbyists to push for new regulations to crush the competition. They have no problem them being guests of the owner as long as no money involved🤔 .
This is assanine to tell you how to rent your property. Go after the renters if they're breaking noise ordinances and any other laws. What is wrong with government. They can't even use common sense. This is all provoked by hotel lobby.
You are the disgrace! Laws are for the benefit and respect of all. Housing is a legitimate crisis and airb&b is a huge part of the problem destroying residential property supply!
This is why there are no affordable homes or rentals in the places millennials want to live. AirB&B makes most of it's money and gets it's scale by directly violating zoning laws. There are mountains of regulations and taxes for legitimate hotels and rentals -these short term rental aps evade all of them! It the same with uber and lyft evading licensed taxi fees, rules and regulations.
Sorry to burst your bubble but this is the future if u against Uber n airbnb might as we go against robinhoon with zero commission fee and a lot more future teck. Lol
AirBnB is just expensive as any other short term rental ( hotel, hostels etc) It doesn’t compare to Uber at all. If you travel it is just expensive. It is not the flight, food, Visa (borders and countries) etc but the accommodation that is the problem. And that is worldwide the issue.

Your property, you should have the right to do what your want with it, the government gets there fair share of taxes, rates and fees, and than they want to tell you how to use it above zoning laws as well
Regulations sweeps are happening all across the country on STR. It's been our dream to have a "second" vacation home that can help pay for itself through sites like Airbnb, but that we can also use throughout the year for ourselves and friends and family. We are FINALLY at a place financially where we can do it but now we can't in the state of UT due to regulations and giving cities power to enforce ordinances. I guess we have to be in the 1% to have a vacation home now...
When airb&b is required to obey all the same laws that other short term rentals do you might be able to afford a vacation home. If you are only willing to buy if you can violate the local laws I am glad the government stopped you!
@@skyak4493 well, I mean I did not buy a STR recently because i learned that it would go against the city's ordinance. The city I was looking in had one in place since 2018, but the state actually passed a bill 5 years ago that specifically aimed at allowing more airbnb's statewide, letting city's have the power to enforce their ordinances only if there were noise or neighbor complaints. So, the state and some cities did not see eye to eye regarding short term rentals, but the state was overall in favor of tourism. Now, with low housing inventory and affordability for residents, I understand why the state would walk back that bill, which they did just last month in March 2022. It is just unfortunate timing for us as we had been wanting to get a STR property and have been saving up to do so- but, as I said, we will not be in cities that disallow it. We found the perfect house in our budget but had to pass because of that city's rules on them. We want the space for us, and for friends and family when they visit. Our current house has no guest room, and is a 3 story townhouse which is too many stairs for my aging parents. Idk, don't be quick to judge.
@@jeslynlane It sounds to me like you dodged a bullet. If you had bought the extra home and then had the government break the economics it would be terrible. FWIW airb&b spends big on lobbyists so the original state law was likely corrupt. Property rights and regulation are a big deal for local government. For a very large corporation to be buying favorable treatment really triggers my hostility. My position is that everyone must obey the same laws. To make room for private short term rental; -limit it to registered local business that pay appropriate taxes and have appropriate insurance and finance -not lying to anyone -make clear liability -limit the number of homes taken from local supply for STR -possibly limit the times homes can be STR. If there are events that sell out all hotels then STR could be allowed to expand the event to it's manageable max. STR is not all bad, but it is out of control and doing damage.
@@skyak4493 I definitely don’t disagree with you, and have seen the effects of STR especially in smaller towns and tourist destinations. I would be happy to pay taxes and get permitted to local laws, as well as operate within a set allotment of STR in one area, I do think that is a fair way of doing things. I’m also in favor of outlawing large companies, who are buying STR properties en masse, from listing on Airbnb. Unfortunately for us, it doesn’t seem like we’ll have any options nearby us in this state for the foreseeable future, as we could not have an owner occupied situation, those are usually allowed (they seem to be more lenient towards basement apartments + shared rooms within a home, as it doesn’t necessarily detract from housing supply for owners who already have those things).
Imagine that the hotel industry lying on reports. Air B and B can be great for communities look at gatlinburg. Would have made sense to talk with an actually home owner not just a company. Governments interests is getting a little out of hand
I'd never use airbnb again, they do not do anything to help if the host does something in the wrong. Money is more important to them than customers, airbnb should be shut down. I rather stay at an hotel anyday.
20k to 100k fine. While they talk about greedy homeowners.
The irony
These "homeowners" are running an illegal business raking in big money.
Here in Hawaii they had to pass a law. The investors were buying all available real estate and turning them into vacation rentals. It was becoming impossible to find affordable housing. 😕
That is happening in every place millennials want to live. These companies are spending billions to lobby against protections.
Ige out!!!
Banks 🏦 are buying up starter homes and now we can’t afford houses
Regulation here in Hawaii hasn’t changed the availability of affordable housing.
Airbnb should stay as they began - owners, not the companies, renting out a part or the whole property to guests. Companies purchasing residential properties and listing them on Airbnb should be prosecuted. However, if a property owner has a house in a no-short-rent zone it becames a very difficult question.
This is one reason there's so many "investor" buyers in real estate.

Even owning a home in the us is a scam. You don’t even own the land, you need to pay taxes on it forever and they can take it if they do choose.
You own the land, but yes you do need to pay property taxes each year as long as you own the property.
The bank owns the property intio it’s paid off. You only own the equity you have amassed, if any.
Nearly every country on earth has property tax not really a U.S. thing.
It's not a scam. A paid off property with property taxes owed is cheaper than rent for an equivalent home.

I don't see the issue with short term rentals. If somebody buys property, they should be able to rent it for 1 day at a time for all I care.
The noise complaints and disruptions are issues, but I don't know why they're trying to just outright ban short term rentals
They violate loads of regulations and evade taxes!
Airb&b has no right to grant exceptions to the law!!!!
@@skyak4493 Airbnb just gained my respect even more
The three reasons I can think of: 1) Noise 2) Parking 3) Not paying taxes like hotels do
@@dannylengyel5830 Explain the noise and parking issues associated with renting a property short term
@@VX-cy4du Often times these rentals are party houses or large gatherings. Noise/Parking issues arise due to these gatherings.
And at a recent AirBnB in South Florida students overdosed on drugs. Its tragic & unfortunate and if a city doesn't want them in their town they have a right to refuse them. Also, most of them do not pay tourist, sales & income taxes, which is highly illegal.

@@mikeyy425 you can’t pay for social services which help pay for health services unless you have taxes paid by licenses (aka regulation for hotels and motels)
I lived next to a airbb and they “accidentally” walked into my house 😒.
This partly fuels the issues with real estate in the US now. prices skyrocketing yet large companies flush with cash paying over (highly inflated) asking prices just to rent them out moving forward.
In Amsterdam, you’re only allowed to airBnB if you own a property. And trust me, people care about their personal properties, and vet guests better, like letting to solo travelers/couples/pairs and not to a group of ten.
That is a great way to keep these short term rentals from depleting all affordable rental stock. More cities need that restriction!
I go to Amsterdam many times a year. The owner is nowhere in site nor on property. You city is grossly overcrowded with over tourism. Look to your neighbors and their money grab for expensive nightly rentals. If the city actually enforces the only so many week rentals in your city you will have a much nicer , controlled ( less crowds and parties) place in which to live.🤷🏻♀️. Many of Amsterdams’ problems will be solved.
All I smell is Envy and Jealousy
Why doesn't Airbnb check addresses against a database for no short term rental zones? If such database doesn't exist they have the money to build one. That way they could block posting where the propriety is in a prohibited area.
Because they don’t give a F&$k. They only care about making
Money.
They don't care, airbnb is a greedy company that dosen't care about customers
AirBnb banned 1 guest. Meanwhile the party 3:06 has hundreds of other guests who can book the next party.
AirBnb just wants to turn a profit and they should just say that. It's not about helping homeowners financially. I'm from South Florida, no one living in Miami Beach is "trying to make ends meet." Miami Beach is an ultra expensive city where a lot of wealthy white people live. That's why the mayor is a white man. Whereas, the mayor of Miami is Latino. (There is Miami, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, Miami Gardens, and Miami Lakes, FYI.)
😂😂😂😂😂😂 alot of people live there with money not just gringos stop
The profits is only for Uber and AirBnb big bosses they made it believe that people will be free of a boss and will make tons of money working with these platform but is not true they are the only ones making money not the people
That’s why people went crazy went these applications came in they started buying like crazy properties and cars believe they were gonna be free and make tons of money out the applications lol crazy at the end people are not even making it doing uber, lyft, Airbnb and worst now in this economy with gas prices and unemployment
@@kangtheconqueroriii7724 I know 😅 but you can't deny that Miami Beach has a lot more gringos in general than other parts of Miami.
@@darkbionic1044 Yeah, Uber and Lyft drivers make most of their money from tips.
@@kamilahdouglas1609 yes but is not a living wage
Made $9k in 40 night rentals on Airbnb. But Karen would rather I make $2k per month with long term tenants.
Air bnbs on my block are making the neighborhood worse! High schoolers throwing parties every weekend - or on a Wednesday when all of us come home from WORK exhausted or needing to study - we have their annoying music super loud vibrating our windows.
It’s corrupt and is making people looking for a place to live even worse with a shortage on houses and rent going up. Very selfish.
I agree with mom and pop air bnb a if they want to make money from an extra room - not buy an ENTIRE property to rent out to random people
Wow! I would never allow parties! Where are the hosts?! That’s insane! Your property can be destroyed!
You could just call the cops for noise complaint 🤷♂️
Then move you prices. The land of the free, but you want rules on everything. You are the type of Americans we don't need in our country.
Ok. This is BS. I get the issue about corporations buying property to make flop houses for companies. That lessens value of surrounding properties, and the guests may be disruptive, which is completely unfair to the neighbors. But, the question remains, what about the mom and pops? The big hotels, which may be funding these "lawmakers", have been fighting homeowners renting their properties, not because they’re worried about neighborhoods, but because they don’t want competition for tourist dollar market share. There are rules on Airbnb, and those have to be stricter - but, disallowing all homeowners (not renters) to rent their home is throwing the baby out with the bath water, and only benefits other corporations- namely, hotels.
Have you heard of over tourism? Air bnb is why such thing as over tourism exists. ( cruise ships close second for many destinations.)
You would most likely think differently if your home was next to one of these homes with constant renters, streams of new people, and parties. Jus sayn
Mayors be like rules for thee not for me, out of all the current problems let's focus on people having a good time.
I really think half these airbnb rules that pass are because of hotel chains and other places mad they lost their cut because to have them in some cities now you have to pay the city a minimum amount which to the right person isn't going to be an issue. The other half is just people who don't want strangers in their neighborhood.
you misunderstand the people aren't fined the renter is fined not the rentee actually if you listen closely they actually hooked them up by allowing them to stay there for free and get their refund.
@@kgal1298 Yes but do you know how horrible it is to live next to a short term rental property that allows ghetto careless mooks to rent
I’m confused. The guy at the start said they have these rules cuz the people that wanna do air BNb there aren’t the mom and pop shop type people… but all the ones they talked to seems to be mom and pop … yep that’s the gov keeping us poor again… and the rich rich
Only big corporations can do short term rentals then? Gotcha
The law will not allow someone to RENT their unit such bs. It's all about MONEY. It's your house, why does the city control what is going on INSIDE your house.
Cause there won't be anywhere to live except airbnb
I feel like You should be able to rent out your own property .
Airbnb is complicit by allowing a Listing to advertise two bedroom apartments set up to sleep eight. Its fine with Airbnb. Miami disagrees with that and so should you.
It's happening in Mexico too. The turists destinations in coastal cities.
The Vocayo chick and the guy who works for Air BNB just come off as sleaze balls. They were tap dancing around those questions like the late (and legendary) Gregory Hines. I won't do business with either company.
I agree with the guy from Airbnb, all of these laws against renting out something that's supposed to be yours are asinine.
Agree
I disagree. The only reason those locations are desirable is zoning, safety restrictions, taxes and the local spending that Airb&b evades!
Owners that break the law must be treated like the criminals that they are, along with the companies that assisted in the crime!!!!
Wow! You totally caught them... renting a home! How wild! This is insane! No way! Wow! Crazy! Whooaa!
Not being able to rent out your own property is none sense. To address noise complains and very loud parties. The host following the law can set the rules of no partying and take responsibility to enforce this. If the host keep allows guest to break the rules and law.Airbnb can implement a 2-3 strike policy that kicks the host from the platform
Right? This is so crazy!
Every city has its own rules , some allow it and some don’t. So just purchase a property that allows it. Problem solved.
Alot of these properties are being re-rented from tenants. These arent the true owners. Imagine renting out your property to a tenant and then they turn it into a hotel.
The crime is renting without obeying the laws and regulations for renting! No app can grant immunity from the law!
America get on nerves. Why do they give a care. Dang let people make money. 🤷🏾♂️
Why is it illegal to Airbnb your apartment in the city?
Because rich people can’t make their money if middle/lower class take their customers and make too much money.
Because it can artificially increase the cost of living. It is nearly impossible to rent in my city because you can get 4x the income doing short term rentals. If there are no restrictions then it becomes a race to the top while the permanent residents are forced out. This only really affects areas with high short term rental demands (mostly due to tourism).
@@TheRealWinser everything this guy said and actual residents vote against it depending on zoning and ordinances set during town/city meetings
@Alex Miami Beach is hardly affordable, if you want to live there you should shell out what it costs. Airbnb does not raise the cost in an area like Miami Beach, rather it brings the hotel costs down and brings more tourists to the area to spend more money at more places.
@@zayzay1ize this is the biggest reason for places like California, Florida, and other high demand places. I guarantee there’s wealthy neighbors and hotel and lodging associations and lobbyists behind these crackdowns.
Airbnb is one of the biggest reasons why we have a housing crisis. Entire areas in San Francisco only AirBnb and that leaves no homes for people to rent.
Truth is if rich could rent and own human they would do it without hesitation for money just look into History for examples black slaves in us/european countries
Worse job in the world... policing home owners.... this job should be illegal
That's quite unconstitutional. Invent the crime and collect the money.
Can we also crack down on management companies buying up at the homes in a city to rent out? They jack rental prices up. You’re no longer able to rent a small house from a grandma and grandpa of family friends and nothing is affordable.
exactly every city in every country. what about mom and pop having to live next to a homeless encampment?if there were enough places for people to live it wouldn't be a issue but there isn't...taxpayer paying for the enforcement too
We all know that all this rules are being pushed by hotel lobby. Just stop this BS.
People are sooo greedy. You mean with everything being as expensive as it is you are telling me how I can use my land. This video is disgusting and that mayor should be ashamed of himself. So out of touch. 🙄
Exactly know if there is regulation like they require fire extinguisher smoke detectors a map inside stuff like that I can totally understand by telling owners or even people that do rental arbitrage which get permission from landlords to rent the properties and re-rent them out I don’t see why that’s any of the cities or governments business seems more like this Airbnb and VRBO etc. became an issue when the Hotel corporation started to complain and paying and helping finance certain things for local governments and state officials typical.
360p ?
Yes! Stop all hotels! Hotels rent for just one day. How can hotels just let people enjoy their lives by not staying 6 months.
Hotels aren't usually in residential area and there is staff and security to avoid loud parties etc. You can't compare these two
People complaining that they can’t do short term rentals with their properties would be the first person to call the city when the AirBNB next door has an all night party
oooo a party, lets call swat.
How it is different if owners next door have an all night party? If someone violates noise regulation then fine them regardless they are owners, long term renters or short term renters.
Just don’t say anything and never let people inside without a warrant. Don’t self snitch. But the govt has a point. It’s basically large corps that have money buy up all the property and don’t leave any for residential living turning it into commercial places
Airbnbs raise rental prices to the 🤡s in the comments, it’s not because cities are “in bed” with hotels 😂
These are just big hotels feeling threatened by Airbnb entrepreneurs taking there share of the hospitality pie. What do industry leaders do when they wanna crush the competition they pay lobbyists to push for new regulations to crush the competition. They have no problem them being guests of the owner as long as no money involved🤔 .
BINGO I want to see how the USA wants to regulate the world good luck with that
Resolution lower than my grades lmao
This is assanine to tell you how to rent your property. Go after the renters if they're breaking noise ordinances and any other laws. What is wrong with government. They can't even use common sense. This is all provoked by hotel lobby.
This is some straight up bull! Cities going after the little guy because big guys are loosing profits.
I've been scammed by an airbnb host. Ive lost thousands.
That Airbnb representative is a total slime ball.
I wanted to have my property destroyed by partyers!!! I I was hoping I could have 50k in property damage just to make $150.00
Is this story like, 4 years old?
CNBC got paid a lot of money to do this report the same as the owners of the Airbnb’s by doing their business. CNBC should be disgraced
You are the disgrace!
Laws are for the benefit and respect of all.
Housing is a legitimate crisis and airb&b is a huge part of the problem destroying residential property supply!
This is why there are no affordable homes or rentals in the places millennials want to live. AirB&B makes most of it's money and gets it's scale by directly violating zoning laws. There are mountains of regulations and taxes for legitimate hotels and rentals -these short term rental aps evade all of them!
It the same with uber and lyft evading licensed taxi fees, rules and regulations.
Sorry to burst your bubble but this is the future if u against Uber n airbnb might as we go against robinhoon with zero commission fee and a lot more future teck. Lol
This is why people cant rent apartments. They are all used for Airbnb
AirBnB is just expensive as any other short term rental ( hotel, hostels etc)
It doesn’t compare to Uber at all.
If you travel it is just expensive.
It is not the flight, food, Visa (borders and countries) etc but the accommodation that is the problem. And that is worldwide the issue.
Once the short term rentals are required and agree to pay what will amount to a hotel tax, all will be fine. That’s the goal…
we are paying estate tax and county tax monthly and still want to ban us. Is not about taxes; is the hotel industry pushing back.

Regulations sweeps are happening all across the country on STR. It's been our dream to have a "second" vacation home that can help pay for itself through sites like Airbnb, but that we can also use throughout the year for ourselves and friends and family. We are FINALLY at a place financially where we can do it but now we can't in the state of UT due to regulations and giving cities power to enforce ordinances. I guess we have to be in the 1% to have a vacation home now...
When airb&b is required to obey all the same laws that other short term rentals do you might be able to afford a vacation home. If you are only willing to buy if you can violate the local laws I am glad the government stopped you!
@@skyak4493 well, I mean I did not buy a STR recently because i learned that it would go against the city's ordinance. The city I was looking in had one in place since 2018, but the state actually passed a bill 5 years ago that specifically aimed at allowing more airbnb's statewide, letting city's have the power to enforce their ordinances only if there were noise or neighbor complaints. So, the state and some cities did not see eye to eye regarding short term rentals, but the state was overall in favor of tourism. Now, with low housing inventory and affordability for residents, I understand why the state would walk back that bill, which they did just last month in March 2022. It is just unfortunate timing for us as we had been wanting to get a STR property and have been saving up to do so- but, as I said, we will not be in cities that disallow it. We found the perfect house in our budget but had to pass because of that city's rules on them. We want the space for us, and for friends and family when they visit. Our current house has no guest room, and is a 3 story townhouse which is too many stairs for my aging parents. Idk, don't be quick to judge.
@@jeslynlane It sounds to me like you dodged a bullet. If you had bought the extra home and then had the government break the economics it would be terrible. FWIW airb&b spends big on lobbyists so the original state law was likely corrupt.
Property rights and regulation are a big deal for local government. For a very large corporation to be buying favorable treatment really triggers my hostility. My position is that everyone must obey the same laws.
To make room for private short term rental;
-limit it to registered local business that pay appropriate taxes and have appropriate insurance and finance -not lying to anyone
-make clear liability
-limit the number of homes taken from local supply for STR
-possibly limit the times homes can be STR. If there are events that sell out all hotels then STR could be allowed to expand the event to it's manageable max.
STR is not all bad, but it is out of control and doing damage.
@@skyak4493 I definitely don’t disagree with you, and have seen the effects of STR especially in smaller towns and tourist destinations. I would be happy to pay taxes and get permitted to local laws, as well as operate within a set allotment of STR in one area, I do think that is a fair way of doing things. I’m also in favor of outlawing large companies, who are buying STR properties en masse, from listing on Airbnb. Unfortunately for us, it doesn’t seem like we’ll have any options nearby us in this state for the foreseeable future, as we could not have an owner occupied situation, those are usually allowed (they seem to be more lenient towards basement apartments + shared rooms within a home, as it doesn’t necessarily detract from housing supply for owners who already have those things).
MiamiBeach wants to keep its city beautiful for its own residents!
In that California incident, ab&b ",banned the guest". Their license to operate as should've been revoked.
Imagine that the hotel industry lying on reports. Air B and B can be great for communities look at gatlinburg. Would have made sense to talk with an actually home owner not just a company. Governments interests is getting a little out of hand
Grew up in Florida it’s all about the money and money is definitely power in Miami
I'd never use airbnb again, they do not do anything to help if the host does something in the wrong. Money is more important to them than customers, airbnb should be shut down. I rather stay at an hotel anyday.
I take issue with the city interfering with property owner rights.
