LA has struggled to keep rent-controlled housing, some of the city’s most affordable dwelling units, from turning into short-term rentals.
Legally, LA hosts can offer only their own “primary residences” for short stays.
A 2018 law prohibits such conversions, but enforcement has been lax.
As of February , 58% of all short-term rental listings in the city didn’t comply with city law.
Airbnb declined to provide a response for this story.
Hotels.com and Booking.com also feature a number of rent-controlled properties ineligible for home sharing.
