I just got back from a week vacation, staying in a house we rented through VRBO.com.
Can anyone explain why VRBO, which has been in operation for 15 years, and explicitly focuses on renting out 2nd homes, has not faced the backlash and scrutiny that AirBnB has? Is it just that they have not done enough volume to get the regulators' attention?
Because reading about the proposed rules in this article, VRBO rentals seem like they would violate at least one of them:
> -Requiring hosts to only rent out their primary residence and setting guidelines on how many days they must occupy the unit each year (currently 275 days)
