Wasn't that kind of the point of AirBnB in the beginning? They will facilitate an agreement between two parties for just about any non-conventional arrangement, often even if it flies in the face of local tenancy laws. And that worked great for some odd number of people. The platform has largely been taken over by traditional vacation rentals, and I wonder if this is part of the friction here - atypical cases likely just aren't worth the trouble for AirBnB moving forward.
