Maybe the solution is to give them a cut?

Maybe that is fever talking. I don't know.



I think that if landlords wanted an income from a BnB, they'd just run a BnB.


Mm, not necessarily. A bed and breakfast is a lot more work than being a landlord. I think some landlords might be okay with piggybacking on someone else's willingness to do a lot of the work.

Maybe we will see a future where rentals spell out the terms of what you can do in regards to airbnb and what their cut is in such cases.


I think part of the problem is that running a temporary place - like a hotel - is regulated completely differently than running an apartment complex/building. By accepting money from their tenants, they would be implicitly running an unlicensed BnB anyway. Probably not particularly legal.


Funny to think laws might change because of this one website changing the game, so to speak.
