re: How do yall feel about neighborhood Airbnbs?

Had one going last Monday night, got work up at 3am or so and went out back and asked them to quiet down. One of the dumbasses told me to make them on the side and resulted in the first instance where I’ve ever been a boomer and called the cops on a party (I am 35)

IF this happened, which is a huge IF, it’s so incredibly rare it’s not worth a discussion. Who partied on a Monday normally?

I own a vacation rental (not in a neighborhood) and I stay in them all the time.

I also live on the edge of a municipality where the street behind me is another one. My corner neighbor behind me is a Hispanic painter that has a rooster, random birds, and had 2 pit mutts that got loose so often they must have been taken away because they both disappeared in a week. He has a chain link fence that has a locked gate. I know because when his dogs got out I tried to go tell him, but I’m not hopping a chain link fence with a locked gate to knock on his door.

My point is, there’s 0 guarantees of a good or quiet neighbor.

If someone is loud after 10pm, most municipalities have sound ordinances call the police asap.

If it’s in a normal neighborhood why would someone rent it to party? How much is a normal weekend rental total? This idea people rent somewhere for $750-1000 for 3 nights to party is somewhat ludicrous especially to “get out of their double wide”. That’s a lot of money.

Most often I find these are rented by families visiting family or in for a wedding, baptism, etc. Most will be good, normal people.

ETA: fwiw even as an owner I’m generally against them being in normal residential neighborhoods zoned residential only. But, ‘mixed use’ areas should allow them. People complain about vacation rental but then have a gas station and restaurant on their street.

Water sprinkler timer set for 10pm and just happens to spray their way over the fence.

I've had one in the Bywater for about ten years.

It prints money year round so I feel really, really good about neighborhood Airbnbs.

If it were true, sure

I dont know of a residential HOA in existence that allows short term rentals

The parties. Look, no one cares if your neighbors have parties for birthdays, graduation, etc for themselves. What’s bad is having new neighbors frequently rotating and the reason they are there to have parties. Do I really have to explain this to you?

Well under 1% of vacation rental owners want a true party house. Party houses get destroyed. You aren’t getting all your money back through any deposits or insurance for routine damage, and litigation takes forever. Airbnb sucks to charge guests for damage as they generally will side by the guest so as to not upset their ‘customers’. It’s not financially worth it. A routine party house would receive routinely very bad reviews as the next people that show up to stay will arrive to a dirty broken house.

It's only a matter of time before your neighbor's house is used to film a gangbang, with hundreds of incels lined up from the front door out into the street.

I heard these places are sometimes used for sex parties, especially if the home has a secluded pool.

I would never air BB any house similar to what you have described. I've seen way too many videos of people destroying them. Will insurance cover that when you make a claim?

Typically insurance will only cover damage caused by a tenant if was accidental…like accidental water overflow or a kitchen fire. An insurance claim for damage resulting from the tenants throwing wild parties is probably getting denied.

Landlord would have to go after the tenant personally and take them to civil court.
