Airbnb Restricted Zoning
Hey guys had a question! I I am in the process of picking up my first rental listing to relist on airbnb. I am in the Midway area of Chicago. And there is a lot of restricted residential zoning near airport. I had an apartment ready to go with the landlord on board. However it landed in a residential restricted area. So far I have done some research, have contacted a guy in that is knowledgeable in the department of business in Chicago and said i couldnt do home sharing in that area.
Anyone have suggestions? Can I possibly submit petition with landlord's consent even in a restricted area?

My advice... AirBnB in a city. You’re asking for trouble. If it’s not already banned it will be. Do it in a tourist area that likes you and respects you! And pay your sales and occupancy tax.
