What is allowed
In addition to registering and paying fees, hosts must keep records for city inspection and make sure smoke detectors, fire extinguishers and other safety features in rented spaces are operable.from a landlord. Hosts do not have to be home when guests are there.Once registered with the city, a host will be given a home-sharing registration number to post on all listings or advertisements.
Agnes Sibal-von Debschitz, a spokeswoman for the L.A. Department of City Planning, said the city will work with a third party to monitor listings in violation of the new rules. The platforms also will be responsible for providing information on bookings at units without registration numbers or those that have exceeded the maximum number of annual bookings, she said.
A spokesperson with Airbnb said in an emailed statement: “We will continue working with our hosts to ensure they are aware of the new process and to answer any questions about registration. We look forward to continuing to work with Los Angeles city officials on reasonable home sharing policies.”
This is about the city collecting more cash, not stopping short term rentals. Will have zero impact on affordable rental housing. If an owner can’t make enough money they will just sell the place.
Could you not make the same argument about hotels? This seems like a way to styme free market capitalism.
You should ask them how they deal w/ Airbnb owners who refuse to rent to disabled veterans w/ service dogs? I can tell you. They don’t do a damned thing. It’s illegal to deny service dogs, but they do & Airbnb lets them get away with it. I kept photos of the AH’s who denied me.
You guys found a way to monetize in digital publishing.
Bet craigslist sees a bump in posting. God forbid we actually have housing for Angelinos
