We have been airbnb guests in the past but never again. It seemed like a bargain until we found our peace and quiet invaded by airbnb guests in the apartment above. Airbnb is a lose lose proposition for hosts and guests when local and strata corp bylaws are blatantly ignored; airbnb.ca’s response to our complaint regarding noisy disruptive guests demonstrates a blatant disregard for laws, rules and by-laws. Airbnb has stated (below) that airbnb considers itself above the law.
Our strata corp, like most others, does not allow short term rentals.
Please note that although some well behaved guests went unnoticed, short term rentals are a huge liability for our corporations. Condo insurance will not cover “hotel guests”.

This is the exact response we received (from Leilani at airbnb.ca/neibours…ie complaints!!! regarding ongoing noise issues caused by consecutive guests above.

“We shared your complaint with your neighbor, but we’re unable to take further action or mediate disputes regarding violations of local laws or 3rd party agreements.
If you’re in the same building, we recommend contacting your landlord, homeowner’s association, housing authority, or other party to help resolve this issue.
We did not share your contact information with your neighbor, as you requested. However, whenever possible, we want to encourage hosts and neighbors to connect directly to resolve their issues. We’ve found this is often the fastest way to get the concerns addressed.
Thank you for helping to improve our community.
Thanks,
Leilani

You should have not gone through such Airbnb. They are terrible and hellish! I hope that host gives you your money back. They should honestly go to jail and pay for their illegal activities.

You might try the NYC Mayor’s Office of Special Enforcement – they are tasked with prosecuting violators of the STR laws
