This is the simplest method, but it also means your tenants are more likely to abuse the utilities by leaving windows open with the heat or A/C running, leaving lights on, ignoring the toilet that constantly flushes on its own, etc.3.

Your expectation of all to serve you, for free, is abusive and ridiculous. 

If it were me, I would stand my ground and tell her she is paying for the false report.Under my maintenance clause, I make it clear that the Tenant is responsible for any maintenance caused by their misuse, abuse, or neglect.

Like most regulations/ordinances they are there for people who are abusing the system.

Again, a noble goal, but often times the reason people are homeless is because they have underlying issues such as mental health or substance abuse.

@Dan Denis it could be a good idea if the numbers make sense and there is a demand for rentals in the area.

I find that we end up denying AirBNB longer stay requests because it leaves weird amount of gaps that would be easier to fill with a FF lease first and then with shorter AirBNBs.Thank you for taking the time to respond.

If you've been denied, please tell me when & the reason Airbnb gave you for the denial.  

They denied my request to rent my unit but can only verify 10% of the units are rented out. if they cannot verify that 25% of the units are rented out, can they deny my request?

You need to talk to the folks who are either going to grant or deny your permit (if one is required.)
