Some Airbnb Rentals Shifting Back to Monthly Apartment Rentals

The inevitable paradox of profit is seeing a reckoning in some market areas where investors purchased apartments, condos, and single-family homes to convert to short-term rental use.  The combination of competing inventory and operating expenses (especially the property taxes and local municipality hotel taxes, which are now being enforced in most markets) have changed up the math and have some operators shifting the properties back to monthly rentals.  

Some Airbnb owners are shifting back to monthly rentals.

The City is being forced to weigh in on short-term rentals, a relatively new land use phenomenon that the zoning code does not address. If it's not specifically allowed in the code then it is not an outright legal use at this time as far as the City of San Diego is concerned. However, in recent years they have allowed this use and taxed the rental fees. So it's not allowed, but it's being taxed. This newer land use that was brought on by the internet is so widespread that it is expected to take some time for across the board enforcement and the establishment of new regulations. Property owners that fail to ensure quiet enjoyment to their neighbors have been the ones targeted for enforcement and fines thus far. #RealEstate #AirBNB
