Curbing Airbnb's expansion in the city (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

6 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'm surrounded by Airbnbs where I live. Has any one had any experience with halting the expansion of Airbnbs? Politically or legally even. Saw one host operating a few dozen listings in Seattle which is outrageous (probably found a loophole). Can't have that with a housing crisis.

Any tips help! Thanks!

You're not going to like the answer: HOAs.

The owner will need to agree to join the HOA though right? Or is it more of a block owners majority thing?

Every situation is different but our HOA prevents people from AirBnBing their houses. For existing houses I don't know.
