[quote=Anonymous]We  don’t live in a beach town but a desirable college town.  We aren’t super walkable to campus (25-30 minute walk 7 minute bike) but a home just sold in the neighborhood that we found out is now an Airbnb.

Our town mandates the trash stay in bins provided and you can’t have bags or trash just outside. You also can only put them out maximum the day before and must bring them inside by midnight.  Most people don’t monitor this but this Airbnb left garage out days before including bags and just trash outside.  On pickup day nothing outside the bins were picked up and the management left al that trash out again for days. Animals opened the bags and you can imagine what happened.

Direct neighbors of this house are angry as I guess people had a party for New Year’s Eve.  It’s also frustrating because we are in a SF neighborhood with young kids so having people coming and going is a bit concerning. I walk by this home but don’t live on the same street, but my kids ride by bikes close by and now I have to be worried about a very quiet neighborhood where everyone knows kids ride their bikes so are slow with fast cars coming and going.

We have another neighbor who rents out their home but it’s for year round tenants as they moved abroad.  Last tenants were great but ended up moving so neighbors are worried that home will also turn into short term rental.

There are airbnbs around but it’s mostly very close to the university.

The town has rules about when you can bring out trash and that you can’t have bags outside your bins so I think neighbors will have to go that route.  One neighbor talked to the management company who said they’d handle it and didn’t the trash sat out for two extra days.

I think people see “influencers” saying they make so much on short term rentals everyone wants to do it.  I have never stayed in an Airbnb and never will.  Sister has and found cameras 2x inside the home that she wasn’t told about.

Stay in a hotel or one of those hotels with kitchens.  [/quote]
