Neighbors ruining the Airbnb party

Jimmy Woodard

Just got a house under contract in Tahoe and already we’re having problems. Apparently 3 of our future neighbors were harassing my agent today at the property because they found out we’re turning it into a (legal) Airbnb.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Any fall out or bad reviews from neighbors harassing guests at your STR? My business partner is worried this might affect potential revenue if future guests have to deal with a hostile environment.

Please let me know how you’ve handled this situation (and if it even matters at all). Thanks in advance!

Jimmy - This is always a tough situation and there is no right answer.  We try to meet with our neighbors and explain to them how we manage and care about the community over profits.  We have tools and process to ensure that we are good neighbors and try to avoid renting out to parties and those that will cause issues.  It maybe worth a talk with the neighbors before your inspection contingency is up.
