I know some local landlords and they have started putting in their lease agreements that if the tenant rents out on something like AirBnb they now owe the landlord the full amount of the rental income. So, in the above case it would not just be getting kicked out, but also owing a ton of money with a fairly easy case to have a judgement against. I fully expect this to be standard in all lease agreements going forward.

I hope you are right. It really lowers the quality of life for all neighbors when a house or apartment is instead used as a hotel-like business. Especially in high-tourist areas, most residents don't want to live right next to a revolving door of temporary guests.

I'm surprised there haven't been more requirements on AirBnB's part to do due diligence with the rental properties - e.g. user has to upload a copy of their lease to prove they have the right to rent it out.
