Krusty, I am against units being used full time as AirBnB rentals def, but I don't get the 'strangers' thing.

Or at least not to the extent it's brought up. In a Co-Op/condo building, maybe I get it since they interview tenants. But there's none of that in my building, nor is their a background check. We're all strangers in this building but we have leases. What's the difference if I rent my place to some other stranger for one weekend?

That stranger has no reason to give a crap about being a good tenant. They could be up all night with music going, making noise and a mess in common - Krusty Oct 16, 06:11 20

- but.... strangers come and go out of your building every single day. and, if there were an actual complaint - Andie Oct 16, 06:12 16
  - Not my building but some, yes. Like I said below, I know the people I live around. I'm friendly with people. When it's 2am and - Krusty Oct 16, 06:16 15
    - also, why do you think people using AirBnB are in the unit making noise? they are mostly tourists, why are they sitting at home? -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 06:18 10
      - Because they're also young people that go back to the place at night and continue the party. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 06:19 9
        
        says who? -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 06:20 8
        
        Says me that knows the one and only other tenant in my building. I see them just about every day and I just know that no - Krusty Oct 16, 06:21 7
        
        no. Who says that the people will be young and come back and party at the place? - Andie Oct 16, 06:22 6
        
        Oh, I know. I'm sure a lot of nice and considerate tourists use the service but I all it takes is one bad apple and I'd be very upset. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 06:24 5

        Your family members are never welcome in a building that I live in. ;-) - Krusty Oct 16, 06:29 3
        
        And as I said before I don't like that people that don't belong in the building have keys. - Krusty Oct 16, 06:30 2
        
        you *might* be paranoid. :) -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 06:31 1
        
        Sure but that doesn't mean I'm wrong. :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 06:34
    - i bet it's happening around you and you don't even know. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 06:17 3
      - I know it isn't because I live in a two family home. My neighbor below me isn't renting out his place. - Krusty Oct 16, 06:19 2
        
        i didn't mean in your building, i meant in your neighbourhood. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 06:20 1
        
        I'm sure it is and that bothers me less because it doesn't affect me. My point has always been that I would want to live in a building that allowed it - Krusty Oct 16, 06:23
- Sure, that risk exists. That risk also exists with the college kid leasing the apartment next door. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 06:12 1
  - ... and then you are stuck with them for a year. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 06:35
