    What laws, rules and regulations are they designed to circumvent?

    My issue with AirBnB properties is that people buy places to rent via AirBnB which means that locals don’t have access to such places for living. I definitely feel there should be legislation that requires people to prove they live in the properties they list on AirBnB. Making some extra cash whilst you’re away is very different to running a place as a business.

      Well, obviously, this to begin with:

      My issue with AirBnB properties is that people buy places to rent via AirBnB which means that locals don’t have access to such places for living. I definitely feel there should be legislation that requires people to prove they live in the properties they list on AirBnB.

      Which is a real major issue in my humble opinion. And then, those doing that not being submitted to the same taxes/rules/insurances requirement and so on than, say, traditional hotels and other places like that. As I was saying, it’s built as a way to circumvent all of those and that should not be legal no matter how useful it may be.
