Approximately 60-70% of Casino Employees (and their families) Rent.EACH Casino that opens for business will attract more tourism, which in turn attracts Businesses to cater to the tourists (MORE JOBS).EACH time a CASINO opens for business : MORE JOBS, MORE PEOPLE = MORE DEMAND for Real Estate.

Tourists comes into the neighborhood, spending more money in the neighborhood, driving the need for more upscale amenities, driving up the desirability and ultimately, driving up Apartment Rental prices.The Rent Protected Renter who had lived in the neighborhood whose personal economics had not kept pace with the skyrocketing upward swing of the Economics of the neighborhood..... well, he's out in the cold, only thankful that his shelter is protected, but angry at the issues that left him in such a circumstance.It's a movement that I don't think anyone in the circumstances of the Rent Protected Renter can easily fix.

Augustine, a small historic beach town with lots of tourists year round. 

However not all properties are, this past summer´s occupancy lowered because most tourists went to Europe.

Ive been bouncing around the idea of glamping/Yurt/cabin STR in Nye county (pahrump/beatty) as many tourists come to explore death valley.

The people who benefit from the laws are landlords, AirBNB, and the people using the short term rentals (typically tourists in a place like Boston). 

Some even do furnished MTR just over 6 months to avoid tourist tax as well.
