That means they don’t know whom to complain to when the bachelorette party next door plays catch outside with a 3-foot inflatable phallus, as happened on Cape Cod. Locals often don’t know who the landlords are.

About half of Airbnb’s listings are managed by people with two to 20 properties, according to Transparent, a software company serving the rental operators. Expect more as travel season heats up.Īirbnb’s line has been that its hosts are regular folks briefly renting out a room to help pay the electric bills. Thus, here and abroad, there have been hot battles between full-time residents, owners of short-term rentals and Airbnb, which provides the platform linking hosts with guests. But with spring in the air, COVID in retreat and considerable pent-up demand for cutting loose, the disturbances may come back with a vengeance. On Cape Cod, firefighters were called to an Airbnb rental after carousers had the not-bright idea of moving a fire pit onto the wooden deck.ĬOVID-19 put a crimp in travel, and that has delivered some peace to beach, college, city and other neighborhoods that have seen themselves overrun by party rentals. Last October, a resident in Scottsdale, Ariz., woke to the sound of partygoers shooting guns.

If you live in a place where people like to go to have fun, good for you.
