The Rise and Fall of a Multimillion-Dollar Airbnb Scheme

Because renting != hotel. There is a huge different between how a tourist treats a building/apartment/neighborhood and a resident does. There are many good reasons why hotels have regulations. Mini-hotel platforms are not subject to the same things.

All of the laws regarding noise, littering, loitering, smoking, etc. don't magically vanish. You have the same recourse against a renter as you would a tourist.

The guests do, though, which means when you call the cops again next week, it's a new person getting their first noise warning.

So these apartments and condos don't have rules where you just complain to management and they kick you (the leaseholder) out?

Plenty of landlords won't want to do battle with the lucrative tenants who've rented out half the building and always pay on time.

Nor do they really want to do all that work - evictions cost money, and are hard! - just to have another AirBnBer sign the replacement lease.

Simply not true, at all.
