Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: AirBnB's

[Samantha Embrey (samantha]

Congratulations, Joel! I'm so happy for you all and am looking forward
to hearing about the further development of Altair. 

Before my arrival at Emerson, the decision had been made to not allow
short-term rentals such as Airbnb because of concerns about the safety
of the children. Long-term rentals of entire units or apartments in
units are permitted. 

I'm curious whether other multigenerational communities allow
short-term rentals.

 Dear Friends,

 We are celebrating the passage of enabling legislation allowing us to
build
 an ecovillage! We have owned our land for over five years and have
gone
 through numerous iterations of ordinances to get here. Glad to share
our
 journey with you.

 Meanwhile, we would like to know what your experience has been with
Owners
 who would like to have a room in the AirBnB (or other short-term
rental)
 network, or put their home into the network while they go on
vacation. In
 general, we believe that longer-term renters should be considered
 "Associates" and can contribute greatly to community life, and
therefore we
 plan to vet them.

 Your feedback on this issue, please!

 Thanks, Joel
