I don’t trust Uber either.
Liberal mansions first.
Alcohol? You need a permit for that.
Your TV was on when you opened the door? Are you licensed to provide entertainment?
You gave them a ride from the airport? Taxi/chauffer's license.
Ad infinitum
“It’s for the children’s safety”.
And people really think they own the homes they "buy."
Why should an air bnb rental not be subject to the same regulations as any other rental?
Want to be a landlord, enjoy the reality of being a landlord ...
I’ve been to the hotel next to that hall of fame. Bring your own sheets. Rent a crappy car. In Springfield, you should have a gun, but it’s Massoftwoshits, so you can’t.
What if your child(ren) left for college and you wanted to rent out a room?
What if a friend’s house burnt down and they needed a place to stay?
It’s your property and what you do with it is your business.
If they want to regulate commercial properties let them, however, private property properly zoned single family should be exempt as long as the owner still lives there.
Connecticut is like five miles away, New Hampshire and Vermont less than 50.
I suspect you're more likely to be bothered by crappy long-term renters than short term AirBNB guests. If the folks coming through AirBNB want to be welcomed at their next booking, they need to maintain good reviews from prior landlords. Throwing noisy parties and other misbehavior is guaranteed to get them dinged when they are reviewed. Long-term rentals are legal pretty much everywhere, and a lot harder to get rid of. If you have a dysfunctional family of hoodlums move in next door with their pit-bulls and loud rap music at all hours, you're stuck with them until their lease is up.
I totally agree. Not a popular opinion here
There are 2 choices, require Air BNB folks to meet all the same regulations that every other rental is required to meet, or remove the regulations every other rental is required to meet.
The idea you can be some special case is nonsense. I have ZERO sympathy for someone who decides, Oh, I want to run a little quick cash side business, but then thinks they don’t have to follow the rules everyone else in that business is forced to require.
You really want to find to lower the regulation for the entire rental industry, that’s fine, I’ll happily help you, but you think you are some special case? BS... Same is true for Uber and Lyft and any other things... you want to be a taxi, fine, meet all the regulations that taxi companies must meet.
If you find the regulation too much, the fight to lower them for everyone, but don’t think you are some sort of special case.
