Right. Your individual case may be a detriment but overall airbnbs have removed a lot of supply from the market which increases demand and therefore prices.

Home owners hate it bc they say it’s a nuisance but homeowners also don’t realize how much Airbnb has inflated the value of their homes. It’s a catch 22.
Personally I think units shouldn’t be allowed to be hotels. A house should only be allowed to be rented for a % amount of time a year if it’s a STR, not long term rental.

Generally leases are written as due on the first with a five day grace period. But to answer your question you go by whatever your lease states that you most recently signed.

Reply to Is Pittsburgh a chain restaurant city? by thehofstetter
People here seem to loooove mad mex and eat n park so I’d say yes. I’ve never seen a city love their chain food so much.
I’m not a fan.

Move to the Mexican War Streets if you can. It’s the best area in the north side.

Stop. Why are we continuously mourning the death of one location from a mediocre (at best) chain?

Well even in that example the owner still gets the benefit of higher home prices caused by Airbnb but might also dinged for being next to one. Could be a wash.
But yes I agree unaffordable housing is a real problem. Not a good thing at all.
