It's sad that you abuse your neighbors by treating your home as an unlicensed hotel and allow random people in for short-term rentals without proper vetting or supervision. If I was your neighbor I would certainly complain to the HOA, complex management, or city code enforcement to have you fined or evicted. Hopefully you at least paid for the cleanup and repair, with some additional compensation for their trouble.


How are you certain that the host has not gone through the local permitting processes and is in a building that disallows STR's?


Well, aside from your issues above, "It's terrible for my neighbors, but I keep doing it, even though it's not much money" certainly isn't going to win any friends.


My neighbors don't have a problem with me running the airbnb. They do it themselves, too, or at least like having the option to. The balcony was a mess but it wasn't damaged, nor did it cost anything to clean.

Free time!? You're not getting that time back you know, perhaps it cost little; I gather from this you're not an experienced landlord.


I cleaned it myself.. it took like 10 minutes. It was pretty annoying. We are good friends.
