Title: should people be able to rent out rooms in their home? Post by: dead0man on January 12, 2019, 08:46:37 AM Many cities throughout the country are being given lots of money by hotel chains to put a stop to this practice. The cities use other excuses when they do it, but everybody knows why they do it.

Title: Re: should people be able to rent out rooms in their home? Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on January 12, 2019, 12:32:27 PM No because this results in things like that landlord who evicted his entire apartment building so he could just rent the rooms on AirBnB.
That's why I support a full 100% ban on AirBnB. Title: Re: should people be able to rent out rooms in their home? Post by: True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자) on January 12, 2019, 06:33:30 PM As a general rule yes. However, there are a few high-density/limited transport metro areas where there is a need to ensure that renters aren't forced to become commuters. So for places like San Francisco, Manhattan, Venice, etc., there is a need. In US terms, if you don't have to file a Schedule E with your 1040, then yeah you should be able to rent. (Note that means you rent at most two weeks per year, but you don't have to pay income tax on it either.)

Title: Re: should people be able to rent out rooms in their home? Post by: Indy Texas on January 13, 2019, 01:28:19 AM There should be caveats in place requiring that you have adequate parking for AirBnB guests and aren't hogging all the street parking.

Post by: Del Tachi on January 14, 2019, 10:03:01 PM Generally yes, but there needs to be sufficient regulation to ensure health/safety and that homeowners are not running de facto hotels.

Title: Re: should people be able to rent out rooms in their home? Post by: Starry Eyed Jagaloon on January 23, 2019, 02:24:38 AM 100% yes, with the only regulations pertaining to health/safety. I have no qualms about hotel Air BnB's in residential neighborhoods, as they need an influx of bustle anyway and I routinely frequent them because paying more than $120/night for a room is just dumb.

Post by: tallguy23 on February 04, 2019, 12:41:57 AM Airbnb has allowed me to travel for way cheaper than I normally would. There's no way I'd be able to have visited Boston and NYC without them.
There should still be regulations though, especially when it comes to apartment buildings. Title: Re: should people be able to rent out rooms in their home?

Yeah this is just an absurd "reason". |
