> A number of the owners in our building are absentee (probably not even in country) and they AirBnB. Nothing like paying a small fortune for a home and facilities and then having to share your pool with a bunch of obnoxious travelers who think they're in a fucking hotel.

In many jurisdictions it’s illegal to operate residential properties as hotels for these and other reasons.

So what? If AirBnB or the property owners are not held accountable, the law doesn't matter.

The person you're replying said it was illegal there, too.
