A lot of people are getting very tired of being subjected to weekend after weekend of stags and hen parties because the neighboring apartment was turned into a hotel room.
Not to mention the extra pressure it's put on property and rents.
Then the rich get richer and consolidate more properties under their companies, leaving the rest to fend for themselves. Think of people who had been making sacrifices so they could save up to purchase something, just to be outbid by collective groups of people just purchasing property to rent them out. There's no competing.
this happened very, very quickly in some markets.. +10 years ago
I wonder if nuisance laws can be used against the host if repeated violations are coming from the same property, even if the renter is different.
