THIS is exactly why I am dead set against AirBnb and all similar companies. It is totally unfair to other building tenants or house neighbors to have totally unsupervised strangers having access to an adjacent apartment or house. These Airbnb etc. clients have no stake in the apartment, the building, or the neighborhood, trashing the place and disturbing others with noise. These permanent residents have a commitment to live peacefully and considerately with neighbors, so they behave in a responsible fashion. One night or short term renters through Airbnb etc. have no such social inhibition. For them, it's a big free for all. They think their rental entitles them to trash the place and not show any responsibility toward it or its contents.
A POX on Airbnb and all similar companies, encouraging bestial irresponsible behavior.
Around the world there are “uberlyftetc” fake-taxis and “airbnb” fake-hotels.
The restrictions to entry into the marketplace for legit taxis and hotels should be lifted and excessive taxes and fees that are being billed to customers of “one but not the ‘other new thing’” should be done away with (or billed across the board).
“......unsupervised strangers having access.....”
Who exactly “supervises” anyone in your neighborhood? Or anywhere else.
Control. I must have control.........
"Unfair?" That's your argument? I can rent my apartment out to whomever I want.
These Airbnb etc. clients have no stake in the apartment, the building, or the neighborhood, trashing the place and disturbing others with noise.
If they commit any crimes, then call the cops. Otherwise, MYOB.
These permanent residents have a commitment to live peacefully and considerately with neighbors [...]
Even long-term residents can be a pain in the *ss.
HOWEVER, if the area is zones as purely "residential," then operating a hostlery should be classified as "commercial," and hence prohibited there.

all landlords have keys to apartments they own.
I am not sure lawsuits are as easy in Canada.
