City Regulation of Short Term Lodging

San Francisco and Washington D.C. have proposed regulation of short-term lodging offered by internet providers, like AirBnB.  In response, that company has renewed its pledge of cooperation with cities.  The company has also asserted that the hotel industry “threatens the economic lifeline of home sharing.”

HOAs often have issues with short-term uses and are left to adopt and implement their own regulations as the issues are different than those of cities.
