> If AirBnb residents are noisy and disrespect the laws, call the cops on them.

And what happens when that leads to calling the cops every weekend, for a different group of people?

I'll tolerate my neighbour having a loud party on his 25th birthday, or him accidentally banging his suitcase down the stairs at 5.30 when he's catching an early flight. I'll do the same, equally infrequently.

It's simply not fair to have that behaviour every fucking weekend, which was what happened when an apartment in the building was put on AirBnB.

Fortunately, the listing was removed the day after I sent it to the landlord, and the noise has stopped. I highly doubt any tax was paid on the income, which is also wrong.



Maybe AirBnb should allow neighbors to comment on disturbing behavior by tourists. Responsibility and consequences could follow a tourist wherever s/he goes.
