Bob's Recent Activity

Air BnB started as couch surfing/renting out a room in your own house for a few days. It has morphed into a generally unregulated niche business. With various levels of competence renting/buying properties to let out in their entirety. They are a mini-hotel/hostel but with none of the compliance requirements (fire escapes/alarms/etc) that B&Bs and others must rightly comply to. I am surprised it has taken this long to regulate this market. It has taken many properties out of circulation for long term lets (for good reason) but when we have a housing shortage for those in need of a primary shelter it makes little sense to allow the unregulated use of such a finite resource. I suspect it will not be long before this need for planning or at least a license to operate will be nationally required.
