The Assembly could also ban property owners from recovering costs when making improvements or repairs on all rentals, including single-family homes and condominiums.

@Lisa D'Alessio I'll pm you with that info, your not allowed to give personal information in the forum or you'll get banned.

From what I can read, Airbnb declared this is extremely rare, banned the guest (oh thank you airbnb), but didn't compensate the host. $10k according to the host easily verified based on the videoVideo and more on this here: LinkWhat do you have in place to prevent this at your place(s)?

I do not know where you get your numbers but prop 10 recently got whooped on a state level and that proposition was not to institute rent control but simply to allow municipalities to institute rent control where it is now banned on the state level (biggest aspect is no rent control on units built after 1995 and exempts SFR and condos from rent control state wide). 

I thought the first case is still awaiting a verdict (and the bill against cities banning STR has only been passed through one side of the house)?

Left and right economists area 95% in agreement that it leads to 1. less housing as people take their rentals off market 2. ultimately less affordability 3. messed up tax and entitlement systemThey're voting on it this week in california to expand rent control to condos, single family houses, and new builds (which were banned before) Costa hawkins AB 1905 tell your local assembly member to vote no...for California Assembly info go to this california .gov sitehttp://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/ CALL BEFORE JAN 9Call before this Tuesday the 9th because they're voting on this HUGE impactful Rent control legislation for all cities in California.This is actually bigger and more impactful to landlords and property owners than the Trump tax reform if you live in California.This is by Buildium https://www.buildium.com/blog/ab-1506-threatens-re...

You don't want to be one of those people caught without the rental license and then possibly penalized/fined or banned from doing so in the future.

But did find this article in Floridapolitics.com April 2017:“The Florida House of Representatives approved House Bill 425 Friday 63-56, essentially re-instituting a 2011 ban on cities or counties imposing any ordinances that would treat vacation rental homes any differently from any other house, condominium unit, or apartment in their communities.”  

@Kim Becker It's an interesting strategy, but one of the first things to be regulated or banned if your local municipality decides to regulate Airbnb more.
